2021 Map of Portuguese Mountain NW

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Sand Springs Wash carves a distinct path through this high-desert landscape in central Nevada, marking the transition from the broad expanse of Big Sand Springs Valley into the more complex topography of the east. The terrain is defined by the sharp rise of the Red Hills and the northern reaches of the Pancake Range, where the elevation lines tighten to reveal the steep ridges and drainage patterns typical of the Great Basin region. This topographic study captures a largely unpopulated stretch of Nye County, emphasizing the natural hydrology and land divisions of the Public Land Survey System. The scarcity of human development highlights the isolation of this sector, where the primary features are the geological formations and the seasonal watercourses that have shaped them over millennia.
