2014 Map of Stonewall Pass

About this map

Stonewall Pass serves as a critical geographic marker in this high desert landscape, positioned where the high ground transitions toward the Lida Valley. The area is defined by the stark topography of the Cuprite Hills to the northwest and the intermittent drainage of Jackson Wash, which carves through the central terrain. This 2014 survey captures a sparsely populated stretch of the Nevada desert straddling the boundary of Esmeralda and Nye counties. Evidence of human infrastructure is concentrated near the north, where Forks Station and the Lida Junction Airport sit along the primary transit corridor. The map reveals the intricate desert pavement and alluvial fans that characterize this portion of the Great Basin, providing a clear record of the area's physical geography and isolated transportation outposts.
