2018 Map of Timber Mountain Pass East

About this map

Seaman Range dominates the southern half of this Nevada landscape, where the high elevation of Indian Peak and Timber Mtn rises above the arid valley floor. The map documents the high-desert terrain where Nye County meets Lincoln County in a series of dramatic volcanic and sedimentary ridges. The northeastern corner of the quadrangle is defined by the ephemeral path of the White River, while the western edge is marked by the steep elevation change at Black Cliff. This area, surveyed by the U.S. Geological Survey in 2018, illustrates a remote segment of the Great Basin where topographic landmarks like Timber Mountain Pass served as critical navigation points for traverse through the basin-and-range province.
