2012 Map of Station Peak

About this map

Station Peak and Red Mountain anchor this high-desert terrain on the California-Nevada border, where a complex network of ephemeral drainages defines the landscape. The hydrology of the region is traced by several significant seasonal flows, including Furnace Cr, Wildhorse Cr, and Indian Garden Cr, all radiating from the central peaks toward the surrounding basins. Evidence of the region's ranching and transit history is concentrated in the northeastern corner, where the infrastructure of the Dyer Airport meets local thoroughfares like Wright Rd and Windmill Rd. Near the southern edge of the survey, the Deep Springs Cow Camp suggests the enduring seasonal movement of livestock in this arid environment. This map captures a specific moment in the rural development of Esmeralda County, showing a sparse but vital grid of named roads like Easy St alongside the natural landmarks of the White Mountains range.
