Piute Range

Encyclopedia : P : PI : PIU : Piute Range

The Piute Range is located mostly in eastern California in the United States, but a small portion lies in Nevada. The mountains lie to the east of Lanfair Valley and southeast of the New York Mountains and Castle Mountains, and northeast of the Piute Mountains. Most of the range lies in the Mojave National Preserve, and trend in a north-south direction. Fort Piute, one of a chain of military stations constructed to protect travellers from San Bernardino across the Mojave Desert to Fort Mojave, lies at the southeastern end of the range near Piute Spring.
