Black Rock Range

The Black Rock Range, NV

The Black Rock Range is a large mountain range in northwestern Nevada. It gets its name from a distinctive black rock landform at its southern terminus that also gives name to the Black Rock Desert. The “Black Rock” long served as a marker post for emigrants and Native Americans on the desert floor. The mountain range is closely identified with the desert, especially its southern half which bisects the desert’s western and eastern arms.
