2011 Map of Astor Pass

About this map

Junction City and the small settlement of Astor sit at the center of this 2011 survey in Washoe County, where the desert landscape is defined by its vital water sources and remote road network. Essential springs like Mocho Spring Number Two, Upper Adobe Spring, and Lower Adobe Spring are documented near the southern edge of the sheet, providing life-sustaining points in an otherwise arid basin. The topography is marked by distinctive features such as the Never Sweat Hills and Juniper Basin, while the low-lying Dry Valley is framed by Astor Pass and Sand Pass. A sparse network of local routes, including Fish Springs Rd and Flanigan Rd, connects these isolated locations, reflecting the persistent rural character of this High Rock region long into the twenty-first century.
