2014 Map of Portuguese Mountain NW

About this map

Big Sand Springs Valley dominates this section of the Great Basin, where the arid basin floor meets the rising topography of the Pancake Range. The valley's drainage pattern is defined by Sand Springs Wash, which cuts a distinct path through the southwestern reaches of the quadrangle. The terrain transitions from the low-lying valley floor to the prominent Red Hills in the south-central portion of the map. This 2014 survey documents the complex topography of Nye County, illustrating the stark relief between the alluvial plains and the high ridges. Land management is detailed through Township and Range markers, including t10n r53e and t11n r54e, providing essential reference points for land use and historical property research in this part of Nevada.
