2014 Map of Buena Vista Hills North

About this map

Old Emigrant Rd traces a path through this high desert landscape, following historical movement patterns across the northern Buena Vista Hills. This 2014 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey shows a stark terrain where the modern Coal Canyon-Stillwater Rd intersects with older routes near the border of Pershing and Churchill counties. Notable topographic landmarks such as Chocolate Butte and the drainage of Packard Wash define the local geography, providing clear points of reference in an area marked by wide stretches of public land. The map illustrates the sparse infrastructure and the grid of township and range boundaries, including t26n r34e, that still govern the remote Nevada interior.
