2018 Map of Niavi Wash

About this map

Toiyabe National Forest and the Desert National Wildlife Range meet in this 2018 survey of the southern Nevada desert. This arid landscape is defined by the elevation changes between South Ridge and Timpi Canyon, where the Timpi Wash cuts through the northern terrain. The map captures the meeting point of Nye and Clark counties, illustrating how public land boundaries and infrastructure intersect in an environment shaped by the Mojave Desert. Historical and industrial land use is evident through the placement of the Mining Entry Road and the established route of US Route 95. While much of the area is dedicated to conservation, the presence of the Mercury Hwy and Letterman Rd highlights the specialized transportation network required to service this remote part of the Great Basin.
