2012 Map of Specter Range SW

About this map

95 cuts diagonally across this high desert landscape in Nye County, providing a primary thoroughfare through the arid expanse of the Specter Range. The transportation network is defined by the intersection of major transit routes and a localized grid, most notably the north-south alignment of Crystal Hwy. The area exhibits a distinct transition from the engineered geometry of desert roadways to the complex, natural drainage patterns that dominate the northern and eastern portions of the quadrangle. This 2012 survey documents the region's infrastructure just south of the Specter Range, illustrating the spatial relationship between modern highway development and the unyielding terrain of the Nevada desert.
