2014 Map of Dry Mountain NW

About this map

The Black Rock Desert dominates the northwestern portion of this Pershing County landscape, marking the transition from the expansive alkali flats to the high-elevation terrain of the Selenite Range. In the northeastern corner, the relief of Old Razorback Mtn rises sharply, while the southern reaches are defined by the slopes of Dry Mtn. This 2014 survey documents the isolated infrastructure of the region, including the Black Rock City Airport, which serves this remote corner of the Great Basin. Access is primarily dictated by state routes NV-49 and NV-48, which traverse the high desert floor near the desert's edge. The map provides a clear look at the Public Land Survey System grid, detailing the township and range boundaries that organize this largely uninhabited territory.
