2012 Map of East of Chloride City

About this map

Chloride Cliff Rd cuts across the northwest corner of this high-desert terrain on the California-Nevada border. The map focuses on a landscape defined by an intricate network of desert washes and drainage patterns flowing eastward toward the Amargosa Valley region. Mapping by the U.S. Geological Survey in this era highlights the extreme topography through detailed contour intervals, though human development remains sparse. This specific quadrangle captures a rugged transition zone where limited road access like the track to Chloride Cliff provides the only path through the complex system of natural arroyos and ridges.
