2021 Map of The Wall SW

About this map

The high-desert terrain of the Pancake Range dominates this quadrangle, defining a rugged divide between two significant Nevada basins. Along the western edge, the land drops into the broad expanse of Chuck Wagon Flat, while the eastern portion of the sheet descends into the vast Railroad Valley. A prominent topographic feature known simply as The Wall stands as a steep escarpment in the northwestern corner, illustrating the dramatic uplift characteristic of the Basin and Range Province. This 2021 survey details the complex network of section lines and township boundaries, such as t6n r53e and t5n r54e, which overlay a landscape of alluvial fans and arid valleys. The absence of modern infrastructure underscores the isolation of this Nye County region, where the topography itself remains the primary landmark for those navigating this remote corner of the Great Basin.
