2012 Map of Timber Mountain Pass NE

About this map

The White River carves a path through the high desert of Nye County, tracing a course that eventually leads to the White River Sink. This 2012 survey illustrates a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes between the Gap Mountains in the north and the prominent heights of Fox Mountain to the south. The drainage patterns on this map provide a clear picture of the hydrologic cycles in this part of Nevada, showing how seasonal or periodic water flow is channeled toward the sink. While the area remains largely undeveloped, the road networks shown by the U.S. Geological Survey indicate the connectivity between these remote mountain passes and the broader regional topography.
