1986 Map of Tippett Pass

About this map

Tippett Pass and Twelvemile Summit anchor this remote high-desert corridor in eastern Nevada as it appeared in the mid-1980s. The landscape is defined by the steep slopes of the Red Hills and the expansive drainage systems that channel seasonal runoff across the basin floor. Braided watercourses like Antelope Valley Wash and the convergent flows of Spring Creek and Snow Bank Creek illustrate the erratic hydrology of this arid environment. Navigation across this isolated terrain relied heavily on a network of 4wd tracks, which provided the only access between the mountain passes and the broad desert flats. The map documents a sparsely developed area where natural landmarks and rugged summits served as the primary points of orientation for travelers and ranchers moving through this portion of White Pine County.
