2018 Map of Dry Mountain NW

About this map

The Black Rock Desert landscape dominates the northern section of this Pershing County survey, illustrating the stark topography of the Great Basin. To the east and south, the terrain rises sharply into prominent peaks, including Old Razorback Mtn and Dry Mtn. These mountain masses are separated by alluvial flats and corridors that have long dictated movement through this arid environment. A primary route, Jungo Rd, cuts across the northern basin, tracing a path that has historically connected isolated mining and ranching outposts. Along the western edge, the foothills of the Selenite Range provide a dramatic contrast to the flat desert playa. This map provides a clear record of the Public Land Survey System divisions, marking the township and range boundaries that define land ownership and management in the Nevada high desert.
