2012 Map of McCullough Pass

About this map

McCullough Pass serves as a primary geographic focal point in this high-altitude desert landscape of Clark County. The area is defined by sparse but critical water sources and isolated human improvements, reflecting the arid character of the southern Nevada interior. The Boyd Rucker Ranch stands as the sole named settlement or improvement on this sheet, indicating the vast spatial requirements for ranching in this environment. Hydrology is represented by isolated points such as McClanahan Spring and McCullough Spring, which were historically essential for both livestock and travelers navigating the passes. This topographic study emphasizes the dry drainage patterns and significant elevation changes typical of the region's mountain-and-basin topography.
