2012 Map of Ione SW

About this map

Ione Valley dominates this desert landscape in the central Nevada interior, characterized by its wide, arid expanse and a sparse network of unpaved roads and trails. The terrain is defined by the high-elevation basin of the valley, which is flanked by the rising slopes of the Shoshone Mountains to the west. A critical topographic feature at the northern edge of the map is Brunton Pass, which has historically served as a vital transit point through the mountain range. While the area is largely devoid of permanent settlements, the presence of Lower Antelope Spring highlights the importance of isolated water sources for early ranching and travel in this remote part of Nye County. The map provides a detailed view of the natural drainage patterns and the network of four-wheel-drive tracks that cross the valley floor, showing the region as it appeared in the early 21st century.
