The mountains reach an elevation of 11,239 feet (3,425 m) at Mount Grant, approximately eight miles northwest of Hawthorne. The mountains lie in a north-south direction west of Highway 95, and cover an area of 1,170 km² (451 sq mi). They form one side of the Mason Valley. The Northern Paiute word for the range is Kaiba.^[2]

The range, and specifically Mount Grant (Northern Paiute: Kurangwa), play a major role in the creation story of the groups of Northern Paiute people whose ancestors periodically lived near the mountain during their seasonal migrations. Kurangwa is a sacred being to them and is responsible for the creation of the Walker Lake (Agai Pah).^[3]
