2011 Map of Round Mountain

About this map

Round Mountain stands as the central hub of this Nevada landscape, where the town's industrial character is defined by the proximity of the Stebbins Mill and the Round Mountain Post Office. The surrounding terrain in Nye County is deeply etched by a network of steep drainages, including Jefferson Canyon to the north and the rugged Shoshone Canyon that cuts through the center. These canyons reveal the historic importance of water and ore processing in the region, evidenced by the Steigmeyer Mill located along Jefferson Creek. To the south, the landscape transitions toward Says Ranch and Mariposa Creek, while more remote corridors like Captured Canyon and Slaughterhouse Canyon suggest the difficult topography that miners and ranchers navigated. A complex web of specialized roads, such as Mine RD and Jett Canyon RD, connects the various milling operations and canyons, illustrating the enduring footprint of mining activity in the Toiyabe National Forest area.
