2021 Map of Izzenhood Gap

About this map

Izzenhood Gap serves as the focal point of this Lander County terrain, where the high desert landscape of central Nevada is defined by dramatic elevation changes. In the northern reaches of the quadrangle, Sixmile Cr cuts through the basin, providing a vital water source in an otherwise arid environment. The map details a network of rural access routes, including Rock Creek Ranch Rd and Rock Creek Rd, which trace the base of the ridges and provide connectivity between remote ranching outposts. This 2021 survey reflects the enduring character of the Great Basin, where land use is dictated by the availability of water and the navigable passes through the mountain ranges.
