Pony Express Rd cuts across the southern portion of this high-desert landscape, following a route defined by the transit history of the American West. Located on the border between Utah and Nevada, the map illustrates the meeting point of White Pine, Elko, and Tooele counties. The eastern edge is dominated by the foothills of the Cherry Creek Range, while drainage for the basin is provided by W Deep Cr. This 2015 survey details a remote interior where transportation is dictated by the natural topography, using corridors like Sheridan Way and Badland Sage Rd to navigate the arid terrain. The map serves as a precise record of the Great Basin's modern infrastructure superimposed over the ancestral pathways of the Pony Express.
