2014 Map of Slate Mountain

About this map

Slate Mtn and the northern reaches of the Monte Cristo Mountains define this high-elevation landscape along the borders of Churchill, Mineral, and Nye Counties. This 2014 survey captures a section of the Great Basin where internal drainage basins like Bell Flat and Little Bell Flat sit tucked between prominent ranges. The terrain transitions from the steep, corrugated slopes of the Fairview Range in the northwest toward the rolling Sinkavata Hills in the center. At the southern edge of the sheet, the elevation climbs again toward Mt Anna. The map is primarily characterized by its complex topography and the intersection of these major basin-and-range landforms, providing a clear record of the area's natural geography and administrative county boundaries.
