The range has a length of {{convert|32.2|km|abbr=on}} and a width of about {{convert|5.5|km|abbr=on}}. The highest peak has an elevation of {{convert|2511|m|abbr=on}} which is {{convert|1353|m|abbr=on}} above the elevation of the dry Winnemucca Lake bed at about {{convert|1158|m|abbr=on}}.[1][2] The site of Nightingale and its large tungsten mine (abandoned in the 1950s) are at the southern end of the east slope. The area also has deposits of arsenic and antimony ore which were mined during World War I and World War II.[3] The Nightingale Mountains are named for Alanson W. Nightingill who was Captain of Company C during the 1860 Paiute War and later the first state controller of Nevada.[4] References1. ^Kumiva Peak, Nevada—California, 30x60 Topographic Quadrangle, USGS, 1984 {{Nevada-geo-stub}}2. ^Reno, Nevada—California, 30x60 Topographic Quadrangle, USGS, 1980 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.mindat.org/loc.php?loc=37161&ob=4 |title=Nightingale district minerals |publisher=Mindat.org |accessdate=}} 4. ^{{cite book |last=Carlson |first=Helen S. |title=Nevada Place Names: A Geographical Dictionary |page=177 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BixwbIM7ZvAC&lpg=PA19&vq=nightengale&pg=PA178#v=snippet&q=nightengale&f=false |accessdate=2015-03-08 |isbn=087417094X |year=1974 |publisher=University of Nevada Press}} 3 : Mountain ranges of Pershing County, Nevada|Mountain ranges of Washoe County, Nevada|Mountain ranges of Nevada |
