About this map

Central Peak anchors the western edge of this Nevada-Utah borderlands region, overlooking a complex system of drainage and canyon relief. The landscape is defined by the carved paths of Little Horse Canyon, Horse Canyon, and Red Canyon, which illustrate the arid erosional patterns characteristic of White Pine County. The presence of water is marked by seasonal or intermittent flows like Smith Cr and Hampton Cr, which cut across the high desert terrain.

Transportation through this frontier is sparse, relying on a network of unpaved tracks and routes that follow the natural topography. Key thoroughfares such as Gandy Rd and Horse Calf Rd provide access through the valleys, while E Center St and Nfd 460 Rd connect more remote segments of the quadrangle. This 2012 survey illustrates the enduring isolation of the area, where the vastness of the Great Basin terrain remains largely undisturbed by modern development.
