1964 Map of Astor Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Virginia Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in northern Washoe County, where the historic Western Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads converge to navigate the narrow Astor Pass. This corridor, flanked by the Never Sweat Hills and Terraced Hills, serves as a vital transportation link between Dry Valley and the vast alkali flats of Honey Lake Valley. To the east, the boundary of the Pyramid Lake Indian Reservation follows the ridgelines, marking a transition into protected tribal lands.
