2014 Map of Home Station Gap

About this map

Home Station Gap serves as a critical geographic passage where the Augusta Mountains meet the vast expanse of Antelope Valley. This high-desert corridor in Nevada is defined by a seasonal drainage network, primarily Home Station Wash, which cuts through the basin. The map reveals the persistence of historical water sources in an arid landscape, including Hess Spring and the curiously named Brides Wells and Bridge Wells. These features represent the essential infrastructure of a land organized by the Public Land Survey System, where township and range lines like t26n r41e provide the only human-imposed structure across the desert floor.
