2012 Map of State Line Pass

About this map

Devil Peak and the surrounding high desert terrain define this corner of the California-Nevada border. This area is characterized by dramatic elevation changes, from the heights of Little Devil Peak and Lead Mountain down to the dry basin of Roach Lake in the southeast. The landscape is marked by the natural drainage patterns of Porter Wash and the steep confines of Devil Canyon. A primary transit corridor is established along the eastern edge where Interstate 15 runs north-south, cutting through the desert floor. The crossing at State Line Pass near the State Line Hills highlights the geographic importance of this mountain gap for travelers moving between the Ivanpah and Mesquite valleys. The topographic detail captures a sparse but significant network of desert landmarks vital for navigating this arid environment.
