2012 Map of Cape Horn

About this map

Cape Horn anchors this high-desert landscape in the heart of central Nevada, where the drainage networks of the Simpson Park Mountains define the terrain. This 2012 U.S. Geological Survey quadrangle reveals the sparse water resources critical to this arid region, most notably Ackerman Spring tucked into the northeastern canyons. A single primary route traverses the southern portion of the sheet, providing the main artery through this open rangeland shared by Lander and Nevada counties. The map reflects a landscape where geological features and isolated water sources serve as the primary landmarks for navigation and land use.
