2012 Map of Buck Mountain West

About this map

Newark Lake sits at the western edge of this Nevada landscape, dominating the floor of the Newark Valley. The terrain rises sharply to the east, defined by the slopes of Buck Mountain and the drainage of Orchard Canyon. This 2012 survey illustrates the arid hydrography of White Pine County, where seasonal or ephemeral water features like Deadman Creek and Moore Springs dictate the character of the high desert. The transportation network is minimal, represented by the path of Co Rd 1 as it skirts the mountain foothills. The map provides a clear look at the geological transitions between the valley floor and the surrounding peaks, capturing the isolation and environmental specifics of the Great Basin region.
