About this map

The vast, arid expanse of Nye County, Nevada, dominates this terrain at the edge of the California border. A single prominent transit artery, 267, cuts diagonally across the northwestern corner of the landscape, providing the only paved access through this desert environment. The remainder of the quadrangle is defined by an intricate network of dry ephemeral drainage channels that score the alluvial fans, illustrating the natural hydrological patterns of the Great Basin. This specific survey captures the stark minimalism of the region before further modern developments, highlighting the isolation and the specific path of the highway relative to the surrounding topography.
