2021 Map of Sunrise Flat

About this map

York Spring and Stone Cabin Spring offer critical water points in this arid pocket of Mineral County, where the high desert terrain of the Gabbs Valley Range meets broad basins. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of Volcano Peak and Muller Mtn, which overlook the expansive desert floor of Sunrise Flat. This area is marked by a complex network of canyons and summits, including Volcano Canyon and New York Canyon, which cut through the mountain range. Historically significant for its isolated springs like Buffington Spring and Dunbarton Spring, the region reflects the typical Great Basin pattern of survival tied to these scarce water sources. Calavada Summit provides a natural pass through the northern reaches, connecting the lower Calavada Flat with the surrounding high-elevation peaks.
