2021 Map of Stonewall Pass

About this map

Stonewall Pass defines the southern reach of this high-desert landscape on the border of Esmeralda and Nye counties. The map illustrates a vast alluvial basin where Jackson Wash drains through the Lida Valley, a region characterized by its arid terrain and sparse infrastructure. The presence of the Lida Junction Airport at the northern edge suggests the area's role as a transit point for regional aviation and desert travel. To the northwest, the Cuprite Hills rise above the valley floor, providing a sharp topographical contrast to the broad, flat expanses of the surrounding basin. This survey documents the intersection of modern transportation routes with the enduring geography of the Great Basin.
