About this map

The high desert landscape of central Nevada is defined by the New Pass Range and the crossing of the Churchill Co and Lander Co border. This modern 2021 study documents the vital water sources that have historically supported ranching and transit through these mountains, including Indian Spring, Barrel Spring, and the high-elevation Iron Tank Spring. To the east, the terrain descends toward Smith Creek Valley, dominated by the prominent Mt Airy Mesa and Mount Airy Summit.

Evidence of early industrial activity persists at Petersons Mill, situated near the unique Petersons Mill Hot Spring. Regional transportation is anchored by the crossing at New Pass Summit and a network of specialized routes like New Pass Mine Rd and Pass Miner Rd, which reflect the area's legacy of mining and resource extraction. The map also identifies the small settlement areas of New Pass and Mt Airy, positioned along the drainage of New Pass Cr.
