2021 Map of Emerson Pass

About this map

Smoke Creek Desert defines the western edge of this Nevada landscape, transitioning into the elevated terrain of the Fox Range and the Terraced Hills. This 2021 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the sparse settlement patterns of Washoe County, centered on the location of Sano. The geography is characterized by dramatic elevation changes through Mullens Canyon and the namesake Emerson Pass, a critical topographical corridor in this arid region. For researchers of the Great Basin, the map identifies essential water sources such as Soda Springs, providing insight into the survival and transit requirements of this high-desert environment. The clear demarcation of township lines, including t29n r20e and t28n r21e, provides a precise framework for locating land parcels within this vast, unpopulated stretch of the Nevada interior.
