2018 Map of Rock Springs Pass

About this map

Rock Springs Pass serves as a critical high-altitude corridor through the Antelope Range, dividing the arid expanses of Spring Valley to the west from Antelope Valley to the east. This 2018 survey reveals a landscape where survival and movement are dictated by scarce water sources, including the strategically located Dipping Tank Spring and Rock Springs. These features indicate the persistent use of the land for livestock or wildlife, a pattern reinforced by the presence of White Pine Co Road 34 and White Pine Co Road 32 which navigate the base of the mountains. Striking topographical landmarks like The Mitten and the walls of Red Rock Canyon dominate the central terrain, while the Antelope Valley Wash provides a natural drainage route through the basin floor. The map offers a precise look at these remote high-desert features and their relationship to the historical ranching and travel routes of White Pine County.
