2018 Map of Toquop Gap

About this map

Toquop Gap serves as the central pass through this arid landscape in Lincoln County, Nevada. The terrain is characterized by the expansive Tule Desert and complex drainage systems that feed into the Toquop Wash, Garden Wash, and Sams Camp Wash. This survey highlights the region's scarce water resources, marking critical points such as Summit Spring and the Tule Desert Reservoir. These features suggest a history of managing water for range livestock in a region defined by its isolation. Surrounding the desert flats are several prominent ranges, including the Mormon Mountains to the west and the East Mormon Mountains to the south. To the east, the topography becomes more intricate near Jumbled Mtn and the Tule Springs Hills, showing the varied geological character of the Great Basin.
