2014 Map of Timber Mountain Pass West

About this map

Coal Valley and the surrounding high desert terrain define this high-altitude landscape along the border of Nye and Lincoln counties. The map focuses on the passage through the mountains, anchored by the topographic landmark of Timber Mountain Pass in the northeastern corner. Infrastructure in this area consists primarily of unpaved access routes like Willow Rd and Timber Pass Rd, which navigate the valley floor and rising slopes. The inclusion of Steele Tank Rd in the south suggests ranching or water management activity necessary for the arid environment. This 2014 survey serves as a record of the remote backcountry of the Great Basin, where the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) grid, including t3n r60e and t2n r61e, provides the primary structure for navigating these open lands.
