2014 Map of Scossa

About this map

Scossa sits along the northern edge of this high desert terrain, connected by the eponymous Scossa Rd to the surrounding Pershing County landscape. The area is dominated by the Antelope Range, which rises to significant elevations at Imlay Summit and Antelope Summit. This arid region relies on a network of isolated water sources for survival and livestock, including Moonshine Spring, Little Antelope Spring, and Abel Camp Spring. To the southeast, the terrain descends into Majuba Canyon, while drainage is channeled through Rabbitthole Cr. The presence of these named springs and the intersection of Pioneer Rd and Seven Troughs Rd reveal a landscape organized around limited natural resources and the old routes that connected mining and ranching interests in the Nevada backcountry.
