2015 Map of Silver King Mountain

About this map

Silver King Mtn and the southern reaches of the Schell Creek Range dominate this high-desert landscape in Lincoln County. The map details a rugged interior where water sources like Burnt Station Spring provide critical relief between the steep slopes of Burnt Peak and the surrounding basins. This 2015 survey illustrates a remote network of unpaved access routes including Silver King Rd and Timber Pass Rd, which navigate the natural gap at Silver King Pass. The lack of established settlements highlights the area's use for ranching and resource management, with Sunnyside Rd cutting across the southwestern quadrant toward more distant valleys. For those studying Nevada's interior, this map provides a clear look at the geological formations and the sparse infrastructure that supports activity in these high-altitude ranges.
