Stillwater Range
The Stillwater Range is a mountain range located in western Nevada in the United States. It is a SSW-NNE running ridge, approximately long. It cuts across the center of Churchill County and extends partway into Pershing County.
The Stillwater Range separates the Carson Sink from Dixie Valley. To the north, a low pass separates it from the East Range. To the south, the Sand Springs Pass separates it from the Sand Springs Range. Nestled against the south end of the range is Sand Mountain, an enormous tall sand dune which draws off-road vehicle enthusiasts from across Nevada and California.
A series of earthquakes measuring 6.6–7.1 on the Richter Scale, centered beneath or near the Stillwater Range, occurred between July and December 1954. As the area was then sparsely populated, no fatalities and little property damage resulted. Extensive surface rupturing can be seen on the east slope of the range.
The principal peaks of the Stillwater Range include Table Mountain, Mount Lincoln and Job Peak.
