  Neighboring features include:
  
  * the Kama and Antelope ranges to the north
  * the Majuba Mountains to the northeast
  * Sage Valley and Trinity Range to the southeast with Lovelock beyond
  * Granite Springs Valley to the south
  * the Sahwave Mountains and small Blue Wing Mountains to the southwest

  ## Mining camps
  
  Along the southeast margin of the range above Sage Valley are several ghost towns dating from the early 1900s, which served the gold mining activity in the canyons. Below Seven Troughs Canyon was Seven Troughs. Running from northeast to southwest are the sites of Farrell, Mazuma, and Vernon.
