Mount Davidson is the highest mountain in Storey County, Nevada, as well as the Virginia Range. The mountain forms a backdrop for the mining boomtown of Virginia City which was built above the Comstock Lode silver strike.

Mark Twain mentions a flag on Mount Davidson in his semi-autobiographical book Roughing It.[3] As of 2003 the flagpole was still standing.[4]
