1990 Map of Home Station Gap

About this map

Home Station Gap serves as a natural corridor between the high peaks of the Fish Creek Mountains and the Augusta Mountains, marking a transition from high desert peaks into the broad expanse of Antelope Valley. This 1990 provisional survey records the remote hydrology of the Lander and Pershing County line, where water sources like Hess Spring and a Water Tank were critical infrastructure for the arid high basin. The landscape is primarily defined by drainage patterns like Home Station Wash and the presence of scattered wells, suggesting a reliance on groundwater for any activity in this corner of the Great Basin. Evidence of industrial exploration or geological sampling appears in the valley floor, noted by a specific Drill Hole, while the extensive network of 4wd tracks indicates the limited but essential routes through the rugged terrain.
