Esmeralda County Repository Oversight Program
The topography of Esmeralda County generally consists of alternating, linear mountains between broad flat valley characteristic of the Basin and Range Province. Similar to the balance of the State, mountain ranges and valleys in Esmeralda County have a north-south orientation. Esmeralda County does not contain any drainage basin of large regional streams; rather it consists of groups of mostly topographically closed valleys with internal drainage. Principal mountain ranges include the White Mountains in the northwest part of the County, and the Silver Peak Range and the Palmetto Mountain to the east.
