2018 Map of Rhyolite Ridge NW

About this map

Fish Lake Valley Marsh sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Esmeralda County, marking a critical hydrological point within the broader Fish Lake Valley. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, rising from the valley floor to the prominent heights of Emigrant Peak in the Silver Peak Range. This 2018 survey illustrates a region where water is the primary architect of the environment, centered on the marsh and Gap Spring. The presence of Emigrant Pass Rd winding through Emigrant Pass suggests a transportation corridor shaped by the natural gaps in the mountain topography. The map detail highlights the intersection of public land survey systems across townships such as t1n r36e and t2n r37e, reflecting the structured management of this arid Nevada interior.
