2018 Map of Blue Wing Flat North

About this map

The Blue Wing Mountains dominate the northwestern quadrant of this Pershing County landscape, their steep contours descending sharply toward the expansive alkali desert. This high-elevation terrain gives way to the broad, level expanse of Blue Wing Flat, a characteristic Great Basin playa that covers the southern half of the map. The stark contrast between the ridgelines and the basin floor illustrates the classic basin and range topography of northern Nevada. This 2018 survey serves as a precise record of the public land survey system divisions across the region, including townships t29n r27e, t29n r28e, t28n r27e, and t28n r28e, which define the administrative boundaries in this sparsely populated interior.
