2021 Map of Mormon Jack Pass

About this map

Mormon Jack Pass and the high ridges of the Snake Range define this high-altitude landscape in White Pine County. The terrain is characterized by complex drainage systems and deep incisions like Devils Gate Canyon and Coyote Canyon, which channel seasonal water through the dry mountain passes. To the north, Swan Cr flows westward, while Marble Wash cuts through the eastern slopes, illustrating the topographic extremes of the Great Basin. This 2021 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the modern configuration of the Public Land Survey System boundaries, including the intersections of t19n r69e, t19n r70e, t18n r69e, and t18n r70e. The map is a critical tool for understanding the contemporary geography of these remote Nevada ranges, where natural landmarks and administrative lines are the primary indicators of place.
