2012 Map of Connors Pass

About this map

Connors Pass serves as the primary gateway through the high terrain of White Pine County, where a single highway route winds between the elevations of Taylor Peak and the surrounding basin. The geography is defined by a network of seasonal water sources and drainages, including the lengthy Cooper Wash and scattered watering points such as Crethers Springs and Rosebud Spring. This high-desert landscape is marked by steep transitions between sheltered areas like Cooper Meadow and the deep cuts of Taylor Canyon and Connors Canyon. A few maintained county roads, such as White Pine Co Road 26, provide the only access into these remote reaches of the Great Basin, tracing the paths of natural drainages to reach the higher mountain passes.
