2021 Map of Cholona

About this map

Black Rock Desert dominates the northern reaches of this Pershing County quadrant, where the stark, flat playa of a prehistoric lake bed meets the rising contours of the Great Basin. This desert landscape is bisected by the long stretch of Jungo Rd, a vital corridor through the arid interior that connects the isolated peaks to broader transit routes. To the southwest, the terrain shifts abruptly as the elevation climbs toward the summit of Pahsupp Mtn, providing a dramatic vertical contrast to the sprawling alkaline flats. The map serves as a detailed study of the township and range system in this part of Nevada, documenting the expansive, sparsely populated territory and the geological transitions between dry lake basins and volcanic mountain ranges.
