2014 Map of Tippett Pass

About this map

Tippett Pass and Twelvemile Summit serve as the primary topographic crossings through the Antelope Range in this high-desert portion of White Pine County. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Antelope Valley Wash and Spring Valley Cr, which feed the broad basins of Antelope Valley and Spring Valley respectively. Human presence in this isolated terrain is marked by the winding path of Whiskey Rd, which navigates the northern slopes. The map reveals the stark geological transition from the central range to the distinct volcanic or sedimentary outcrops of the Red Hills in the southeast, illustrating a classic Great Basin environment where seasonal water flow dictates the geography.
