2018 Map of Black Point

About this map

Newark Valley defines the northern reaches of this high-altitude landscape, where the flat basin floor meets the rising elevations of the Pancake Range. The topography is dominated by the prominent landmark of Black Point, a distinct geographic feature situated within the western section of the survey area. This 2018 study by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise visualization of the complex drainage patterns and relief characteristic of this part of White Pine County, organized within the Public Land Survey System grids of t17n r54e and t16n r55e. The absence of developed infrastructure reflects the area's enduring character as an open western range, where elevation changes and natural landforms remain the primary markers of the territory.
