2021 Map of Round Mountain

About this map

Round Mountain sits at the foot of the Toquima Range in this modern-era survey of central Nevada. The geography is defined by the transition from the wide, level expanse of the Big Smoky Valley into the deeply incised drainages of the Toiyabe National Forest. Industrial history is represented by the Steigmeyer Mill, located north of the settlement near Jefferson Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the local road network servicing the area's mining interests, including Smokey Valley Mine Road and Jetty Canyon Road. Water sources, critical in this arid landscape, are documented through named features like Ink House Spring and the drainage systems of Jefferson Canyon, Shoshone Canyon, and Mariposa Canyon. This survey captures the town and its surrounding wilderness before recent shifts in land use and mining expansion.
