2021 Map of Timber Mountain Pass West

About this map

Coal Valley defines the western expanse of this high-desert landscape, where the terrain transitions toward the elevations of the Timber Mountain Pass to the east. This 2021 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the topographic character of a remote basin floor divided by the Nye Co Lincoln Co boundary. The map illustrates a typical Great Basin drainage pattern, where the vast open floor of the valley is framed by rising mountain slopes. While no permanent settlements are shown, the grid of the Public Land Survey System, including townships t3n r60e and t2n r61e, provides a framework for understanding the land use and ranching history of this corner of the Nevada desert.
