Mount Jefferson is the highest mountain in both the Toquima Range and Nye County in Nevada, United States.

[6] For similar reasons, it is also the highest mountain for over 90 miles in all directions.

[1] It is located about 50 miles (80 km) northeast of the county seat of Tonopah within the Alta Toquima Wilderness of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, near the smaller towns of Carvers and Round Mountain.

[3] During the Pleistocene, alpine glaciers eroded several cirques east of the summit plateau.
