Seaman Range


The Seaman Range is a 30-mile long mountain range in Lincoln and Nye counties, Nevada, in the western United States.
The range lies at the south perimeter of the large north-trending White River Valley, along with Coal Valley to its west. The eastern side of the mountain range forces the south-flowing White River to course southeast, south, and then south-southwesterly, towards Hiko and the Key Pittman Wildlife Management Area.
The central-south of the range is anchored by the Timber Mountain massif and on its southeast creates the White River Narrows. The Weepah Spring Wilderness is located at Timber Mountain.

The massif of Timber Mountain at anchors the range center. The entire south section, about 20 mi long trends south-southwesterly. Coincidentally, for this region, the following ranges, valleys, and rivercourses show this parallelism trend, part of the Basin and Range: the list from west to east are: Golden Gate Range, Coal Valley, Seaman Range, section of the White River, Delamar Valley and Dry Lake Valley, Burnt Springs Range, Delamar Mountains, and in the east, section of Meadow Valley Wash.
