2012 Map of Rock Springs Pass

About this map

Rock Springs Pass serves as a central landmark in this high-elevation corner of White Pine County, where water is the primary driver of name and movement. The map details a network of vital water sources including Rock Springs, Blind Spring, and Dipping Tank Spring, which supported livestock and travelers through this arid Nevada terrain. The landscape is defined by its dramatic topography, featuring the distinctive formation known as The Mitten and the deep cuts of Red Rock Canyon. Transportation through the area is anchored by Whiskey Rd, which cuts diagonally across the southern half of the quadrangle toward the Antelope Valley Wash, illustrating the practical routes established for navigation through the Great Basin’s Basin and Range geography.
