2018 Map of New Pass Peak

About this map

New Pass Peak and the surrounding New Pass Range define this high-altitude landscape along the border of Churchill and Lander counties. The area is characterized by a network of drainage and seasonal water sources, most notably Gilbert Cr and various isolated springs that likely served as vital landmarks for early travelers and ranching operations. The terrain transitions from the steep elevations of the range down into Antelope Valley to the north, where Little Antelope Spring and Big Antelope Spring are located. Other critical water points including Water Canyon Spring, Deer Spring, and Gilbert Spring are documented across the desert slopes. These features illustrate the sparse but essential hydrography required to sustain any activity in this corner of the Great Basin.
