On The Ground

The Pancake Range is the notable portion of land in this area. Most of the land is covered in desert brush and is home to mule deer, desert bighorn sheep and antelope.

This unit is mainly recognized for its desert bighorn sheep herd.

Terrain

Parts of the Pancake Range are steep, particularly on the fringes of mesas. Other parts of the unit have gentle slopes, deep and shallow swales and large flats. Water sources are limited, most are in the mountains.

  • Roughly 821 square miles

  • 98.3% public land

  • Elevations from 4,700-7,500 feet

Desert brush covers most of the unit. Parts of the east side of the Pancake Range have dense thickets of pinyon pines and junipers. Railroad Valley in the northeast as well as the Lunar Lake bed in the southcentral part of the unit have extensive salt flats with little vegetation.

Though this area is mainly public land, large tracts of private property are in Railroad Valley. Most other private parcels are small. US Highway 6 provides good access in the west. State Route 375 provides good access in the south. The east Railroad Valley Road gives good access to the eastern parts of the unit. Both the east Railroad Valley Road and U.S. 6 provide the best access to the north. Various primitive routes branch from primary routes, providing direct access to specific areas. Hikers can hike to areas without roads.

Hunters can buy supplies and get motel rooms in Tonopah, Ely or Eureka. Hunters may camp anywhere on public land.
