2012 Map of Piute Point

About this map

The Old Spanish Trail Rd cuts across this desert landscape in Clark County, following a historic corridor that long predates modern infrastructure. The map highlights the intersection of ancient travel routes with contemporary state management, notably where Valley of Fire State Park meets the surrounding terrain. Geologically, the area is defined by the Muddy Mountains and the distinct formation of Piute Point, while local depressions and basins are noted as Monocline Valley and Buffington Pockets. Small-scale water management is visible at Buffington Reservoir, providing a rare point of hydration in a land otherwise dominated by dry washes and the paths of Rte-169 and Rte-167.
