2021 Map of Juniper Pass

About this map

Sahwave Mountains dominate the central terrain of this Pershing County landscape, where the high desert topography converges at Juniper Pass. This 2021 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a land shaped by drainage patterns and isolation, with the Kumiva Valley opening to the north. The presence of several vital water sources, such as West Juniper Spring and North Cottonwood Spring, indicates the traditional points of survival and travel for those navigating the western reaches of the Blue Wing Mountains. The map provides a detailed view of the high points, including Black Mtn, revealing the complex ridgelines and drainage basins that define this portion of the Great Basin.
