2018 Map of Scossa

About this map

Scossa sits as the primary named point of interest in this high-desert landscape, located along the winding path of Scossa Rd. This remote area of Pershing County is defined by the elevation changes of the Antelope Range, which is punctuated by high passes such as Imlay Summit and Antelope Summit. The geography is shaped by water scarcity, as evidenced by the numerous named water sources that likely served as vital stops for travelers and livestock, including Moonshine Spring, Cedar Springs, and Abel Camp Spring. To the southeast, the terrain drops into Majuba Canyon, while drainage is further defined by the seasonal flow of Rabbithole Cr. The presence of South Abel Spring and Little Antelope Spring further emphasizes the reliance on these localized aquifers in an otherwise arid region of Nevada.
