2018 Map of Red Ridge

About this map

Red Ridge and the surrounding high desert terrain define this corner of the Great Basin as it appeared in the early 21st century. The landscape is characterized by prominent geological formations, including the Barnett Hills to the northeast and the broad expanse of Rawhide Flats in the northwest. This 2018 survey captures a remote portion of the Nevada interior, where the county line between Churchill County and Mineral County cuts a straight east-west path across the topography. The map illustrates a region largely defined by its natural relief and public land survey divisions, reflecting the persistence of open range and undeveloped territory in the American West. Historical interest lies in the network of unpaved roads and tracks that navigate the ridges and basins, providing access to this isolated landscape.
