2018 Map of Big Dune
USGS Topo · Published 2018About this map
Big Dune dominates the southern landscape of this terrain, rising from the transition between the Mojave Desert and the Amargosa Desert. This 2018 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details a region defined by dramatic geologic formations and arid watercourses, including the Amargosa River and the ephemeral Solitario Wash. To the northeast, the volcanic topography of Lathrop Wells Cone and the southern reaches of Yucca Mountain provide a stark contrast to the surrounding flats. Human activity is localized along corridors such as Quarry Rd and Valley View Rd, while features like Tilted Ridge and Crater Flat showcase the complex faulting and ridgelines characteristic of this section of Nye County.
