2018 Map of Skeleton Hills

About this map

Skeleton Hills rise from the arid floor of the Mojave Desert in this high-desert landscape within Nye County. The area is defined by the broad drainage of Rock Valley Wash, which cuts a wide path southeast through the center of the sheet. Sparse desert roads such as Cook Rd and Mecca Rd E provide the primary access through this open terrain, marking a shift from the rugged topography of the hills to the flatter alluvial plains. US Highway 95 clips the northern corner of the quadrangle, serving as the major regional artery connecting this isolated section of the Mojave to the wider Nevada desert network. The land is strictly organized by the Public Land Survey System, with township boundaries like t16s r50e overlaying the natural features.
