2021 Map of Thunder Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Thunder Mtn rises as a prominent landmark over the eastern portion of this Nye County landscape, dominating the transition from high valley to arid basin. The area is defined by the broad Ralston Valley, where the drainage of Hunts Cr makes its way south. To the west, the tiny settlement of Rye Patch sits along the roadway, marking a rare point of named human habitation in an otherwise expansive and open terrain. The eastern edge of the quadrangle gives way to the Ralston Desert, while Conservation Camp Rd cuts through the southwest, suggesting the specialized infrastructure that supports management of this remote section of Nevada. This map provides a clear record of the relationship between sparse water sources and the road networks that connect isolated outposts in the Great Basin.
