2014 Map of Black Point

About this map

Pancake Range dominates the eastern half of this terrain, where complex ridgelines and drainage patterns descend toward the open basin of Newark Valley. The topography is characterized by steep, north-south oriented ridges common to this portion of White Pine County. On the western edge of the range, the prominence of Black Point serves as a distinct landmark overlooking the valley floor. This 2014 survey captures a landscape primarily defined by its natural geography and Public Land Survey System divisions, including t17n r54e and t16n r55e. The absence of developed infrastructure reflects the area's use as open range and wilderness, where the transition from high mountain slopes to alluvial valley surfaces creates a classic Great Basin environment.
