1986 Map of Mormon Jack Pass

About this map

Mormon Jack Pass and the surrounding high-altitude terrain of White Pine County define this mid-1980s topographic study. The landscape is characterized by complex drainage systems and narrow corridors, most notably Swan Creek Canyon and Coyote Canyon. Evidence of early resource exploration is visible through several prospects located northwest of the pass, providing a focal point for those interested in the mining history of the region. Distinctive geological landmarks like Devils Gate and the broad Marble Wash illustrate the dramatic relief of this section of the Great Basin. This provisional edition map maintains the focus on the natural environment and transit corridors through the mountains before significant modern development altered the area's character.
