2015 Map of South of Amargosa Valley
USGS Topo · Published 2015About this map
The Amargosa Desert and the northern reaches of the Mojave Desert converge in this 2015 study of southern Nevada. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral courses of Fortymile Wash and Rock Valley Wash, drainage patterns that dictate the placement of human activity in this arid environment. A grid of rural residential roads and agricultural tracts, such as W Amargosa Farm Rd and F Desert Senior Ln, shows the organized attempt to cultivate and settle the basin floor. The presence of specialized infrastructure like Race Track Rd and Cross Country Race Rd suggests a unique recreational use of the flat, open terrain typical of this part of Nye County. This map serves as a detailed record of the desert's modernization, where legacy land divisions meet contemporary desert living.
