2014 Map of Silverado Mountain

About this map

Silverado Mountain and the high ridges of the Diamond Mountains define this high-desert landscape on the border of White Pine and Eureka counties. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent peaks and basins, including Island Mountain and the steep enclosure of Packer Basin. The presence of several named water sources, such as Mud Springs, Muchacho Spring, and Indian Spring, suggests the critical importance of reliable water in this arid environment. To the east, the topography transitions into the broader expanse of Newark Valley. Significant landmarks like Strahlenberg and Century Peak provide orientation across the diverse landforms of the Alhambra Hills, while drainage features such as Pinto Creek and Rescue Canyon channel the seasonal flow from the mountain heights.
