2021 Map of Rocky Hills

About this map

The Simpson Park Mountains and the Rocky Hills dominate this high-desert landscape in Eureka County, Nevada. This topographic study documents a network of vital water sources in an arid environment, including named points such as Cadet Trough Spring, Rocky Hill Spring, and Geyser Canyon Spring. The northern portion of the quadrangle shows the lower-elevation Pine Valley, where the J D Ranch Rd and Cortez Beowawe Rd intersect, marking the sparse transportation corridors of the Great Basin. Deep canyons like Coal Canyon, Trail Canyon, and Fye Canyon carve through the central and southern peaks, while Twin Peaks serves as a prominent landmark for the area. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by intermittent drainages such as Pine Cr and Horse Cr, essential for the ranching and resource activities that define this part of the state.
