1980 Map of Sand Pass

About this map

Smoke Creek Desert and the Pyramid Lake Reservation meet in this 1980 survey of the high desert terrain of Washoe County. The landscape is defined by its water sources, recorded through a series of named outflows including Laird Spring, Rotten Egg Spring, and Sulphur Spring, which were vital for the region's sparse ranching and transit activity. At Sand Pass, the Western Pacific railroad cuts through the arid basin, providing a critical transport link along the southern edge of the Terraced Hills.
