About this map

Round Mountain sits at the foot of the Toquima Range in this modern topographic record of central Nevada. The map details the intricate road network and industrial footprint of the region, including the Steigmeyer Mill located just north of the primary settlement. The landscape is defined by its deep drainages and canyons, such as Jefferson Canyon, Kelsey Canyon, and Slaughterhouse Canyon, which cut through the western slopes of the mountains toward the Big Smoky Valley.

Evidence of the area's high-desert resources is found at Ink House Spring and along the various forks of Shoshone Creek, which flow within the Toiyabe National Forest. The transition from the valley floor to the high-elevation peaks is marked by numerous specialized transit routes, including Shaft Road, Smokey Valley Mine Rd, and Dump Rd, reflecting the long-standing mining operations that have shaped this portion of Nye County.
