2018 Map of Blair Junction

About this map

Monte Cristo Range dominates the northern half of this landscape, its complex contours marking the high ground above the expansive Big Smoky Valley to the south. This transition point in Esmeralda County is centered on Blair Junction, where travel routes converge in the desert floor. The map highlights the intersection of modern transportation and older paths, including Emigrant Pass Rd, which cuts through the southern reaches of the quadrangle. The township and range lines of t3n r37e and t2n r38e provide a clear grid for locating specific parcels of land within this arid interior basin, showing a terrain shaped by wide alluvial fans and ancient drainage patterns typical of the Great Basin region.
