2018 Map of Silver Zone Pass

About this map

Silver Zone Pass serves as a critical corridor through the Toano Range in eastern Elko County. This high-desert landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the Collar and Elbow Basin to the north and the Silver Zone Basin to the south. Historically, the area represents a vital transit artery where the modern path of Interstate 80 and Alternate U.S. 93 follow established routes through the mountains. Small rail-side points such as Proctor, Cliffside, and Silver Zone line the corridor, marking the legacy of transport infrastructure in this arid terrain. Remote water sources like Toano Number Thirteen Spring and Collar and Elbow Spring provide rare points of relief in the high-elevation basin and range environment.
