2021 Map of Black Point

About this map

Newark Valley dominates the northern expanse of this high-altitude landscape in White Pine County, where the transition from flat basin floor to complex relief is defined by the Black Point formation. The topography reveals the intricate drainage patterns and elevation changes characteristic of the Great Basin, centered on the prominent ridgelines of the Pancake Range. Section lines of the Public Land Survey System, including t17n r54e, t17n r55e, t16n r54e, and t16n r55e, provide a rigorous grid for modern land management across this terrain. This data serves as a precise record of the land surface before contemporary environmental shifts or development might alter the dry washes and alluvial fans that shape the basin's edges.
