1990 Map of Hole In The Wall

About this map

Augusta Mountains and the Clan Alpine Mountains meet in this high-desert landscape of Churchill County, dominated by the namesake Hole in the Wall geological pass. The terrain is defined by its isolation and limited accessibility, where drainage is primarily channeled through Shoshone Creek and various wash areas. The 1990 survey reflects a region primarily used for grazing or mineral exploration, as indicated by the network of 4wd tracks that represent the only infrastructure through the broad Valley. This provisional edition captures the precise topography of the Great Basin's basin-and-range province, documenting a moment in time when the landscape remained largely undeveloped and reliant on seasonal water sources and primitive routes for navigation.
