2014 Map of Rainier Mountain

About this map

Big Smoky Valley dominates the southern half of this landscape, where complex alluvial fan patterns illustrate the drainage from the high desert terrain. The arid basin is defined by the ephemeral flow of Long Wash and Idlewild Creek, which originate near the prominent slopes of Rainier Mtn in the north. This 2014 survey documents the remote road network of Nye County, tracing the historical Fremont Route as it parallels the valley floor alongside modern routes like NV-89. Local access points such as San Antone Rd, Peavine Rd, and Seifer Ln intersect the desert flats, providing a detailed record of land management and transportation in this part of the Great Basin.
