About this map

Pahrump sits at the center of this 2018 survey, showcasing the expansive residential and ranching grid developed in the Pahrump Valley. The map details a dense network of local roads such as Adkisson St and Betty Ave, alongside family-named landmarks like 2 T Ranch Ln and Ranch St. This layout reflects the modern growth of this desert community, where a strict Cartesian grid of streets meets the arid terrain of the Mojave Desert.

To the west, the landscape shifts abruptly into the high-relief topography of the Devils Hole Hills and the lower stretches of Stewart Valley. The state border between Nevada and California cuts diagonally across the southwestern quadrant, marked by Ash Meadows Rd. Located near the northern edge, Sixmile Spring remains a notable water source in this otherwise dry environment, illustrating the critical role of springs in shaping settlement patterns in the Great Basin region.
