The Louderback Mountains are a very small range in central Nevada in the United States.[1] The mountains lie in a north–south direction between Dixie Valley and the Clan Alpine Mountains. The mountains are located in Churchill County, and contain Crown Peak, elevation 6,588 feet above sea level.[2] The Louderback Mountains lie several miles north of Highway 50. The Louderback Mountains were named in 1972 for George Louderback, a geologist who taught at University of Nevada and University of California, Berkeley.[1]
