About this map

Mountain Boy Range and the Fish Creek Range dominate this Nevada landscape, where high-elevation summits and dry drainage basins define the high desert character of Eureka County. The map details a complex network of canyons and peaks, including Atrypa Peak, Pinnacle Peak, and Castle Mtn. Water is a scarce but critical resource, marked by isolated points like Josephine Spring and McCulloughs Spring near McCulloughs Butte.

Evidence of seasonal hydrology is visible at Stevens Basin Dry Lake, a prominent feature in the northwestern section of the quadrangle. The terrain transitions through named formations such as the Mahogany Hills and along the Spring Valley Summit. This recent survey illustrates the enduring physical geography of the Great Basin, mapping the rugged corridors of Spring Valley Canyon and Robinson Canyon as they were documented in the early twenty-first century.
