2018 Map of Stewart Valley

About this map

Stewart Valley dominates the northern landscape of this survey, straddling the arid border between Nevada and California. The terrain transitions from the salt-flats and basins of the valley floor into the southern reaches of the Mojave Desert, where elevation increases toward the Devils Hole Hills in the northeast corner. A sparsely developed network of unpaved roads, including White Hawk Rd, Baker Rd, and Ash Meadows Rd, provides the primary access through the desert basin, highlighting the isolation of this remote borderland. The southwestern portion of the map is defined by the steep, intricately contoured slopes of the high desert, while State Hwy 178 cuts across the southeastern corner, serving as the main thoroughfare for transit between Inyo County and the surrounding basins.
