2018 Map of Pogues Station

About this map

Pogues Station sits at a geographic crossroads in the high desert of the Great Basin, where the Pancake Range dominates the central topography. This remote stretch of Nye County is characterized by significant elevation changes, from the heights near Red Rock Summit down to the drainage of Duckwater Cr in the northeast. The presence of Nevada Governor's Spring and Soda Spring indicates the vital importance of water sources in this arid environment. The map captures a moment in the modern era where the historical footprint of early Nevada settlement remains visible through named landmarks and remote station sites. The boundary between White Pine County and Nye County cuts across the southern portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the geopolitical divisions of these expansive interior basins.
