About this map

Cal-Nev-Ari serves as the primary settlement within this desert corridor, situated along the western edge of the Mojave Desert. The landscape is defined by the transition from the broad, sandy drainage of Piute Wash to the dramatic elevations of the Newberry Mountains in the east. This 2014 survey documents a critical junction of modern infrastructure and natural preserves, where Loran Station Rd cuts across the arid plains toward the Lake Mead National Recreation Area.

Water sources are predictably scarce, marked by isolated points such as Old Roman Spring, Yellowstone Spring, and Battle Axe Spring tucked into the mountain folds. The southern portion of the quadrangle is traversed by Christmas Tree Pass, a route providing access through the high country. For those studying the geography of southern Nevada, the map provides precise locations for remote infrastructure and desert landmarks including Sand Quarry Rd and the intermittent flow of Nellis Wash.
