2014 Map of Emigrant Pass

About this map

Emigrant Pass and the surrounding Tuscarora Mountains anchor this high-desert landscape in northern Nevada. The terrain is defined by a series of significant drainage systems and peaks, including Carlin Peaks and Marys Mtn. Settlement is sparse, centered on the small siding of Primeaux and the open expanse of Bobs Flat. The map reveals a complex network of seasonal water sources and springs such as Emigrant Spring, Fish Pond Spring, and Fuzzy Spring, which have historically been critical for transit through this arid corridor. Transportation follows the natural contours of the land, moving through Emigrant Canyon and over Twin Summit. Significant geological features like Stone Wall Canyon and Bob Creek Canyon illustrate the erosive forces shaping the region's topography, providing a detailed look at the land's character near the Eureka and Elko county lines.
