2014 Map of Poker Brown Gap

About this map

Poker Brown Mountains dominate the central landscape of this western Nevada quadrangle, where the rugged terrain transitions toward the vast drainage basins of the high desert. The map captures the significant topographic break at Poker Brown Gap, a natural passage between the peaks that likely served as a primitive transit corridor through the range. Seasonal water flow is traced by Poker Brown Wash, which snakes southeastward from the gap, and Rabbithole Cr in the northern reaches. This 2014 survey documents the remote character of Pershing County through its distinct lack of modern development, emphasizing instead the natural landmarks and township boundaries like t32n r30e and t31n r31e that define land management in the Great Basin.
