2011 Map of Oasis Divide

About this map

Oasis Divide serves as the focal point of this arid terrain in Nevada’s Esmeralda County, where the high desert landscape is defined by its drainage patterns and sparse network of remote access routes. The map records the paths of Silver Peak Oasis Divide Rd and McAfee Rd as they navigate the ridges and washes of this interior basin. The topography shows a complex system of seasonal watercourses that shape the environment, providing a detailed look at the drainage geography in a period when these backcountry roads were the primary markers of human passage through the divide.
