1990 Map of New Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

The New Pass Range and Desatoya Mountains define the high-desert landscape of this central Nevada corridor, where the historic New Pass cuts through the rocky divide. Traces of 19th-century transit are evident at the Overland Stage Station (Ruins), a remnant of the vital communication and travel network that preceded modern highways. This 1990 provisional edition, based on earlier 1960s photogrammetry and 1980s field checks, highlights the topographical transition between Edwards Creek Valley and Smith Creek Valley. The terrain is marked by numerous spring sources and a large-scale Gravel Pit, reflecting the ongoing utility of this desert pass. The boundary between Churchill and Lander Counties bisects the southern range, providing a precise reference for surveyors and land historians tracking the administrative lines of the Great Basin.
