2021 Map of Silver King Mountain

About this map

Silver King Mtn and the surrounding high country of the Schell Creek Range dominate this high-desert landscape in Lincoln County. The map details a rugged transition of elevation, centered on the strategic Silver King Pass which has long served as a natural corridor through the range. Water sources are scarce in this arid terrain, with Burnt Station Spring providing a critical landmark for those traversing the gaps between the peaks. South of the pass, the elevation rises again toward Burnt Peak, illustrating the complex topography of the Great Basin's basin-and-range province. This 2021 update preserves the traditional land survey grids, including portions of t4n r63e and t5n r63e, which define the administrative boundaries over this remote terrain.
