Cover of the new Nevada Mountains book

Nevada is one of the most mountainous states in the US. Yet mapping out exactly where one range begins and another ends has never been done—until now. In this volume, David Charlet provides maps and descriptions for all 319 mountain ranges in the state.

Each mountain range entry contains a descriptive narrative and a data summary that includes the highest point, the base elevation, a brief discussion of the geology, any historic settlements or post offices located in the range, the distribution of life zones, and a list of all conifers and flowering trees.

This book is the result of over thirty years of exploration and study throughout the state. The University of Utah press page has more information.
