About this map

The Pony Express Trl cuts diagonally across this high desert landscape, tracing a legendary path through the central Nevada interior. This 2018 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details a sparsely populated ranching and mining region where modern roads like 3 Bars Rd and Gold Bar Rd cross intermittent watercourses.

The drainage patterns of Rutabaga Cr, Coils Cr, and Underwood Cr define the alluvial slopes of the basin. These ephemeral streams, along with Ferguson Cr, indicate the seasonal hydrology of the Great Basin, where water is a scarce and vital resource. The map captures a transition between low-lying flats and rising foothills, dominated by the enduring infrastructure of historical trails and modern access roads.
