2018 Map of Scottys Junction SW

About this map

The Gold Mountain Range dominates this landscape along the border of Esmeralda and Nye counties, providing a clear view of the high desert terrain of southern Nevada in 2018. The topographic detail follows the complex contours of the mountains, which include the prominent Slate Ridge in the northern portion of the quadrangle. In the southwestern corner, the terrain drops significantly near the landmark of Hells Gate, marking a sharp transition in the desert floor. This modern survey maps the geological interface between these ridges and the northern edges of the Amargosa Range, reflecting a largely unpopulated region where the natural topography remains the primary feature of interest for land management and geological study.
