2018 Map of Buena Vista Hills North

About this map

Buena Vista Hills dominate the southeastern landscape of this High Desert terrain, where the high-altitude topography transitions into the drainage of Packard Wash. This area serves as a transit corridor across the Great Basin, notably preserving the alignment of the Old Emigrant Trl. This historic pathway provides a tangible link to the mid-19th-century westward migration, cutting through the center of the sheet toward the Pershing and Churchill County line. The desert environment is further defined by isolated landmarks like Chocolate Butte and the winding course of the Coal Canyon-Stillwater Rd, which connects the high ground with the surrounding basins in a region shaped by both its geological isolation and its role in early American overland travel.
