2014 Map of Mount Airy

About this map

New Pass Range defines the high ground along the Churchill County and Lander County line in this 2014 survey. This portion of the Great Basin landscape highlights the sparse but vital water sources essential for survival in the arid interior, such as Mt Airy Spring, Barrel Spring, and the Petersons Mill Hot Spring. The presence of Petersons Mill and the settlement at Newpass indicates the area's history of small-scale industry and transit, centered around the New Pass Summit crossing. Modern infrastructure like Antelope Valley Rd and Pass Miner Rd follows the natural contours of the land, connecting the high Mt Airy Mesa to the lower expanses of the Smith Creek Valley. This map documents a region where elevation and isolated springs have dictated the pattern of human presence for decades.
