About this map

Scossa sits at the northern edge of this high-desert terrain, reached by the winding path of Scossa Rd. This remote corner of Pershing County is defined by the high elevations of the Antelope Range, where the landscape transitions between prominent peaks like Antelope Summit and the deep cut of Majuba Canyon. The geography of this arid region is traced through its vital water sources, with several isolated springs supporting the high-altitude environment.

Collectors and local historians can locate various named watering points, including Moonshine Spring and Abel Camp Spring, which historically served as essential stops for travelers and livestock. The elevation shifts significantly toward the northeast, culminating at Imlay Summit. This 2021 survey provides a clear look at the township and range divisions, such as t33n r30e, overlaying the complex topography of the Great Basin.
