2015 Map of Niavi Wash

About this map

Toiyabe National Forest dominates the southern landscape of this Clark County region, where the terrain shifts toward the northern reaches of the Mojave Desert. The map documents a rugged transition of high-elevation ridges and drainage basins, notably South Ridge and the winding Timpi Canyon. These natural corridors dictate the path of seasonal water flow through Timpi Wash and Niavi Wash, which cut across the arid environment. Infrastructure is sparse in this desert expanse, defined primarily by the crossing of U.S. Route 95 and the Mercury Hwy near the border of Nye and Clark Counties. This survey illustrates the isolation of the high desert before reaching the more developed areas to the south, preserving the mid-2010s state of these public lands and transportation corridors.
