2012 Map of Mizpah

About this map

Mizpah serves as a lone point of reference in this high-desert landscape of eastern Nevada. The settlement sits near the southern end of the sheet, positioned where the Nelson Cr drainage begins to narrow between the valley floor and rising topography. The drainage system of Nelson Cr defines the local hydrology, weaving through the terrain in an area marked by a network of public land access routes. These routes, including Goshute Valley Rd, Blm Rd, and the Bureau of Land Mgmt Road 1023, emphasize the region's managed rangeland character and the importance of transit through the arid Goshute Valley.
