About this map

The high desert basins and ranges of central Nevada meet at the boundary of White Pine and Nye counties in this 1990 survey. The topography is dominated by the north-south alignment of the Pancake Range and the Duckwater Hills, which separate the expansive Railroad Valley from Duckwater Valley. This landscape reflects the classic basin and range structure of the region, where wide alluvial valleys are bounded by steep, isolated mountain blocks.

Evidence of human activity is sparse, centered primarily on the Bull Creek Ranch located along the eastern edge of the quadrangle near Bull Creek. This small settlement serves as a rare point of habitation in a terrain otherwise characterized by geological features like the prominent Black Point. The map provides a clear record of the jurisdictional line between White Pine Co and Nye Co as it traverses these remote desert corridors.
