2014 Map of Pronto

About this map

Pronto sits at a geographic crossroads in Humboldt County, where the desert flats meet the rising slopes of Blue Mtn. This high-desert landscape is defined by its isolation and its essential water sources, including Sampson Spring and O'Donnell Spring, which have long served travelers in this arid region. The primary artery through the area is Jungo Rd, a route that connects the remote basins and mountain ranges of northern Nevada. To the east, the terrain descends into Abel Canyon, illustrating the sharp elevation changes characteristic of this part of the Great Basin. The grid of the Public Land Survey System, including t36n r35e and t35n r35e, provides the underlying structure for a landscape otherwise dominated by natural topography and the single settlement of Pronto.
