2014 Map of Split Mountain

About this map

Split Mountain dominates the central portion of this 2014 survey, which covers a section of the Nevada high desert within Esmeralda County. The landscape is defined by the elevation changes between the Montezuma Range to the southeast and Clayton Ridge to the west. Evidence of human presence is concentrated in primitive routes such as Montezuma Well Rd and the drainage-hugging Jackson Wash, indicating a reliance on natural topographies for transit. The map provides a detailed view of the Public Land Survey System divisions, documenting Township and Range boundaries like t3s r40.5e and t2s r41e, which are essential for property researchers and geologists studying the intricate land-claim patterns of this arid region. The drainage patterns around Nevada Canyon further illustrate the hydrology of these desert ranges.
