2018 Map of Juniper Pass

About this map

Juniper Pass serves as a critical geographic transition point between the Blue Wing Mountains to the north and the Sahwave Mountains to the south. This arid stretch of Pershing County is defined by its vital water sources, including West Juniper Spring, Juniper Spring, and North Cottonwood Spring, which have long been essential landmarks in the high desert landscape. To the northwest, the terrain opens into the Kumiva Valley, while the elevation peaks at Black Mtn. The map provides a detailed view of the township and range system, showing the boundaries of T29N and T28N across several ranges. The lack of major roads or settlements highlights the isolation of this corner of Nevada, where survival and travel historically relied on knowledge of these scattered springs.
