2021 Map of Silver Zone Pass

About this map

The Toano Range dominates this corner of northeastern Nevada, where the high desert terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes and essential water sources. This 2021 survey illustrates a critical corridor for modern transportation, with Interstate 80 and Alternate US 93 converging near the historic waypoint of Silver Zone. The map details the geographical transition from the Silver Zone Basin through Silver Zone Pass, a route that has served travelers for generations. Isolated named springs like Toano Number Thirteen Spring and Collar and Elbow Spring within the Collar and Elbow Basin point to the vital locations once necessary for survival in this arid landscape. Small rail-aligned settlements including Cliffside and Proctor remain as markers of the infrastructure that supports movement across the Great Basin.
