2014 Map of Amargosa Flat

About this map

Crystal sits at the northern edge of this arid Nevada landscape, where the local road network including Ranch Rd and Crystal Hwy serves a small cluster of desert residences. The terrain is dominated by the broad, low-lying Amargosa Flat and the surrounding reaches of the Amargosa Desert, which transitions into the northern Mojave Desert to the south. This 2014 survey reveals the stark geography of the Devils Hole Hills and the rising elevations of the Johnnie Range in the southeastern corner. The grid-like organization of public lands is clearly marked by township and range lines, such as t17s r51e, illustrating how human infrastructure like Devils Hole Rd and Appaloosa Ln has been etched into this expansive basin-and-range environment.
