2014 Map of Beck Pass

About this map

Ruby Mountains terrain dominates the northwest corner of this White Pine County landscape, where the high ridges give way to the expansive floor of the Newark Valley. This high-altitude basin sits between the northern reaches of the White Pine Range and the southern extent of the Rubies, connected by the strategic geographic corridor of Beck Pass. The survey highlights a transition from the structured township and range system into the open, rugged elevations of Dry Mtn, illustrating the sparse but intentional land management of Nevada's interior basin and range country. Topographic contours define the steep eastern slopes and the broad valley bottom, providing a detailed look at the drainage patterns and peaks that have historically influenced transit through this remote section of the Great Basin.
