2011 Map of Poker Brown Gap

About this map

Poker Brown Mountains dominate the western portion of this high desert landscape in Pershing County, where the terrain is defined by dry washes and drainage patterns common to the Great Basin. The topography is anchored by Poker Brown Gap, a significant natural pass that facilitates movement through the mountain range. This arid environment is further characterized by the ephemeral Poker Brown Wash and the northern reach of Rabbithole Creek, which illustrate the seasonal hydrology of the region. Human presence in this isolated section of Nevada is represented by the remote Poker Brown Camp Rd, which provides access to the interior of the quadrangle. The lack of established settlements highlights the preservation of the open range and the persistent character of the Nevada backcountry into the early 21st century.
