2021 Map of Tungsten Mountain

About this map

Tungsten Mtn stands as a central landmark in this high-elevation corridor of the Clan Alpine Mountains. The landscape is defined by a series of deep drainages, including Bernice Canyon and Bob Canyon, which funnel seasonal water from higher peaks toward the Edwards Creek Valley to the east. Historically, these canyons and springs were vital in an arid region, evidenced by the presence of Eagle Springs, Bob Spring, and Smooth Canyon Spring. The terrain here is marked by significant topographic relief, where routes like Shoshone Pass provided natural passage through the Shoshone Creek Canyon. The naming of the peak itself points to the region's mineral interests, while the surrounding canyons like Straight Canyon and Stone Canyon illustrate the complex geological erosion of the Great Basin range.
