About this map

Devils Hole Hills and the northern reaches of the Mojave Desert define this desert landscape along the border between Nye County, Nevada, and Inyo County, California. This modern survey illustrates the rugged transition from the Stewart Valley floor to the prominent heights of Pupfish Peak and High Peak. The area is characterized by vast alluvial fans and significant topographic relief, with the eastern edge of the Johnnie Range looming at the map's margin.

Civilian transit across this arid terrain relies on a handful of established routes, most notably the Bob Ruud Memorial Hwy and Bell Vista Rd. These roads intersect near the Nevada-California state line, providing critical access through the basin. While largely devoid of permanent settlements, the map details the precise township and range boundaries that organize this part of the Great Basin, including Ash Meadows Rd leading toward protected ecological sites just beyond the quadrangle's edge.
