1981 Map of Poker Brown Gap

About this map

Poker Brown Gap serves as a primary passage between the high desert terrain of the Majuba Mountains and the broad expanse of Sage Valley. This 1981 edition, compiled from mid-1970s aerial photography, captures a landscape defined by seasonal water drainage and cattle-range infrastructure. Arid hydrology is prominent throughout the quadrangle, with Rabbithole Creek and Poker Brown Wash channeling occasional runoff through the dry basins. Evidence of human activity in this remote Nevada corridor is sparse but specific, marked by a Spring and a solitary Water Tank. A network of 4WD tracks provides the only access through the rocky outcrops and sagebrush, reflecting the region's enduring character as an isolated rangeland and mineral exploration area on the Pershing and Nevada county line.
