2021 Map of Salt Cave

About this map

The Dead Camel Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in northern Nevada, where the border between Churchill County and Lyon County cuts through the arid terrain. The topography is defined by intricate contour lines mapping the ridges and drainages of the range, showing the complex physical geography of the Great Basin. Human imprint on this wilderness area is minimal, primarily represented by the passage of Simpson Rd, which traverses the southern portion of the quadrangle. This 2021 survey provides a clear view of the modern land divisions and public land survey system grid, reflecting how the Bureau of Land Management and other agencies manage this undeveloped corridor of the Nevada desert.
