2021 Map of Scottys Junction SW

About this map

Gold Mountain Range dominates the southern portion of this high-desert landscape along the border of Esmeralda and Nye counties. This 2021 survey details a region characterized by dramatic elevation changes, where the northern expanse is defined by the steep topography of Slate Ridge. The cartography traces the stark boundary between the two counties, cutting through a series of complex ridges and basins that include the notably named Hells Gate. In the extreme southeast, the map captures the beginning of the Amargosa Range, illustrating the continuous mountain systems that define this part of the Great Basin. While lacking modern permanent settlements, the area is meticulously gridded by the Public Land Survey System, showing sections within townships such as t7s r42e and t7s r43e, which remain vital for land management and mineral claims in this arid mining-adjacent corridor.
