2011 Map of New Pass Peak

About this map

New Pass Peak stands as the primary landmark in this corner of Churchill County, anchoring the southern portion of the New Pass Range. The landscape is defined by the high desert drainage patterns of Gilbert Creek, which meanders through the eastern foothills. This 2011 survey documents a series of critical water sources essential to the arid environment, including Little Antelope Spring and Big Antelope Spring in the north, and Deer Spring located centrally within the range. The presence of these named springs and the seasonal flow of Water Canyon suggest the historic and contemporary importance of water management in this high-altitude basin. The map tracks the winding primitive routes that follow the natural topography of the canyons, providing a detailed look at the corridor between the peaks and the surrounding Great Basin desert.
