2014 Map of Blue Wing Flat North

About this map

Blue Wing Mountains dominate the northwestern quadrant of this Pershing County landscape, their steep contours descending sharply into the expansive desert sink of Blue Wing Flat. This 2014 survey illustrates a stark, arid basin defined by significant elevation changes between the high mountain peaks and the broad, level floor of the flat below. The map detail highlights the intricate drainage patterns that characterize this portion of the Great Basin, where seasonal runoff carves narrow channels from the heights toward the valley floor. The land is precisely divided by the Public Land Survey System, including sections within t29n r27e and t28n r27e, reflecting the orderly grid of the American West superimposed over an unforgiving and primarily undeveloped geological environment.
