It is the thirteenth highest mountain in the state.^[4] Arc Dome also ranks as the second-most topographically prominent peak in Nye County and the eighth-most prominent peak in the state.^[5] The peak is located about 53 miles (85 km) north of the community of Tonopah, within the Arc Dome Wilderness of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest.

Arc Dome is sometimes confused with Toiyabe Dome, but these are separate peaks. Toiyabe Dome at 11,361 feet (3,463 m) is about 5 miles (8.0 km) southeast of Arc Dome, above the small community of Carvers, Nevada.^[6]
