2014 Map of New Pass
USGS Topo · Published 2014About this map
New Pass Range and the Desatoya Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape along the border of Churchill and Lander counties. This 2014 survey documents a critical mountain crossing at New Pass, where a transit corridor winds through the arid terrain between the elevated peaks and the broad expanse of Smith Creek Valley. The map detail highlights the sparse but vital water sources essential for survival and commerce in this Great Basin environment, including New Pass Spring, Abel Spring, and the compound Upper-Lower Jordan Valley Spring. These features, alongside New Pass Cr, trace the drainage patterns and historical watering points that have dictated human activity and livestock movement through this rugged basin-and-range geography for generations.
