2021 Map of Blair Junction

About this map

Monte Cristo Range dominates the northern half of this Nevada landscape, where steep slopes descend into the broad expanse of Big Smoky Valley to the south. This transition from high terrain to valley floor is a classic representation of the Great Basin's basin-and-range topography. Modern transportation corridors, including the combined route of 6 95 and 265, navigate the base of these elevations. Historical transit is evidenced by Emigrant Pass Rd and Nivloc Rd, which strike out toward local mining districts and neighboring valleys. The map provides a clear record of the public land survey system divisions, including t3n r37e and t2n r38e, defining the cadastral framework of this corner of Esmeralda County.
