2018 Map of Home Station Gap

About this map

Home Station Gap serves as the topographic centerpiece of this high-desert landscape on the boundary between Pershing and Lander Counties. The terrain is defined by the steep elevation change from the Augusta Mountains in the west down toward the expansive Antelope Valley in the southeast. This 2018 survey reveals a sparse network of ranching and access routes, including Ranch Rd and Brides Wells Daileys Rd, which navigate the arid flats. Rare water sources like Hess Spring and the drainage of Home Station Wash dictate the movement and settlement patterns in this part of the Great Basin. The map provides clear evidence of long-standing land divisions, marking the junctions of several townships and the specific sites of Brides Wells and Bridge Wells near the valley floor.
