Devil Peak, Clark County, Nevada.

Gazetteer Query: G.N.I.S. See also: Black Butte.
	Devil Peak is a small (~2.5 km diameter) hypabyssal rhyolite dome that intruded into Paleozoic carbonate strata of the southern Spring Mountains (Guest, et al., 2007). It is also the probable source for megabreccia sheets, pyroclastic deposits, and obsidian rock avalanche deposits that make up the crest of Black Butte. These deposits are evidence for about 30 km of dextral slip along the Stateline Fault System. Elevation: 5856ft, 1785m. Articles that refer to this location: Glossary: hypabyssal; U. S. Interstate 15: near Devil Peak; Literature Referring To This Location: Guest, Bernard, Nathan Niemi, and Brian Wernicke. 2007.
