The **Tobin Range** is a mountain range in eastern [Pershing County](/source/Pershing_County,_Nevada), [Nevada](/source/Nevada).[1] The linear range is typical of the [basin and range](/source/Basin_and_range) structure with an approximate length and width of 32.5 miles (52.3 km) by 6 miles (9.7 km) with a NNE orientation.[2] The Tobin Range includes [Mount Tobin](/source/Mount_Tobin), a 9,754 feet (2,973 m) summit that dominates the surrounding area. Mount Tobin has a latitude of 40°22′37″N and a longitude of 117°31′33″W.[3]

To the north the Tobins are separated from Buffalo Mountain in [Humboldt County](/source/Humboldt_County,_Nevada) by Smelser Pass and to the northeast from the [Battle Mountains](/source/Battle_Mountains,_Nevada) in [Lander County](/source/Lander_County) by the broad Buffalo Valley. To the east and southeast lie the [Fish Creek Mountains](/source/Fish_Creek_Mountains) and the small [Augusta Mountains](/source/Augusta_Mountains). To the west and southwest lie the [East Range](/source/East_Range) and the [Stillwater Range](/source/Stillwater_Range) across Pleasant Valley. To the northwest is the [Sonoma Range](/source/Sonoma_Range) in Humboldt County.[2]

The [1915 Pleasant Valley earthquake](/source/1915_Pleasant_Valley_earthquake) produced dramatic [fault scarps](/source/Fault_scarp) along the west margin of the range with up to 5.8 metres (19 ft) of vertical displacement.[4] publisher Tobin Range was named after Clement L. Tobin.[5]
