2012 Map of Railroad Pass

About this map

Railroad Pass serves as a central waypoint in this high-desert landscape of White Pine County, where the terrain is marked by isolated ranches and vital water sources. The map identifies the specific locations of the Etchemendy Number One, Number Two, Number Three, and Number Four settlements, suggesting a concentrated ranching or agricultural operation in the center of the quadrangle. To the west, the Baalman Ranch sits near the foot of the hills, while the prominent Diamond Peak anchors the southern boundary. The distribution of named water sources like Della Spring, Nancy Spring, Jim Swayne Spring, and Arthur Spring reveals the critical reliance on groundwater in this arid environment. Transportation through the pass is facilitated by several named routes, including Garcia Fet, Eureka-Thompsons, and Co Rd-1, which connect the remote drainage of Huntington Creek to the broader region.
