2021 Map of Scottys Junction

About this map

Sarcobatus Flat dominates this desert landscape, where long stretches of high-desert terrain meet the eastern fringes of the Gold Mountain Range. The map centers on the small highway settlement of Scottys Junction, a critical waypoint at the intersection of regional transit routes in Nye County. To the southeast, the terrain descends toward Coyote Holes, indicating a landscape where seasonal water sources or historical wells dictated movement and survival in an otherwise arid environment. Unlike more developed regions, the road network here remains sparse, primarily defined by the intersection of major thoroughfares and minor desert tracks like Creech Rd. The grid layout of public land surveys reveals a territory divided for administrative and mining purposes rather than dense residential settlement, capturing a remote corner of Nevada where the geography is defined more by vast basins and isolated peaks than by urban growth.
