1986 Map of Rock Springs Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Antelope Range dominates this mid-1980s terrain, where the high ridges of the eastern Great Basin overlook the broad expanse of Antelope Valley. The placement of water sources was critical for the ranching and wildlife in this arid landscape, evidenced by Rock Springs and the functional Dipping Tank Spring. This provisional survey illustrates the relationship between the dramatic vertical relief of features like The Mitten and the drainage patterns that carved Red Rock Canyon. To the southeast, the terrain descends into a significant geological Depression and the Antelope Valley Wash, marking the transition from mountainous outcrops like Red Rocks to the valley floor. The map serves as a record of these reliable water points, including Antelope Spring, which have long anchored human and animal movement through White Pine County.
