About this map

Virgin Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape straddling the border between Clark County, Nevada, and Mohave County, Arizona. The survey reveals a complex topography of ridges and peaks, most notably the Virgin Peak summit and the sprawling Virgin Peak Ridge. This terrain transitions into the Mojave Desert to the west and the high-elevation flats of Hungry Valley to the east.

Remote springs and canyons provide the few vital water sources in this arid region, including Big Springs Canyon, North Water Spring, and White Saddle Spring. Cultural imprints are sparse, defined primarily by isolated routes such as Nays Ranch Rd and CR-101, which navigate through geological landmarks like Whitney Pass and the steep slopes of Billy Goat Peak. This map provides a detailed view of the high-country hydrology and primitive road networks before more modern developments reached this isolated borderland.
