1990 Map of New Pass Well

About this map

Clan Alpine Mountains and the New Pass Range define the high terrain of this Great Basin landscape, separated by the broad expanse of the Edwards Creek Valley. The region is characterized by its arid hydrology, featuring a large Dry Lake in the southwestern quadrant and a sparse network of water sources essential for survival in the high desert. Scattered throughout the valley floor are critical landmarks like Edwards Creek Well No 1, Horseshoe Well, and New Pass Well. These sites, along with a solitary Gravel Pit, reflect the primary human interventions in an area dominated by topography and cattle ranching infrastructure during the late twentieth century. The map provides a clear look at the township and range divisions, showing the survey lines that organized this remote Churchill County interior.
