2021 Map of Rock Springs Pass

About this map

Rock Springs Pass serves as a critical point of elevation in the high desert of White Pine County, Nevada. This topographic study reveals a landscape defined by its scarce water sources, essential for the livestock and wildlife that traverse the Antelope Range. Named water points such as Rock Springs, Antelope Spring, and Dipping Tank Spring are scattered across the terrain, indicating the historical importance of these spots for survival in the arid basin. To the east, the terrain opens into the broad expanse of Antelope Valley, while distinctive geological features like The Mitten and Red Rocks provide unmistakable landmarks for navigation. Transport through this area is facilitated by established routes like White Pine Co Road 32, which cuts across the southern portion of the map through Red Rock Canyon.
