2011 Map of Trinity Pass

About this map

Trinity Range dominate the southern portion of this desert landscape in Pershing County, Nevada. The high mountain terrain transitions into the wide expanse of Sage Valley to the north, a characteristic basin-and-range formation typical of this region of the Great Basin. Trinity Pass serves as a primary geographic notch through the mountains, facilitating movement through the high country. The road network is sparse, defined by the winding path of 7 Troughs Rd which navigates the alluvial fans and drainage patterns of the valley floor. To the west, the deeply cut topography of Toll Rock Canyon marks the rugged transition from the mountain slopes to the sagebrush-covered flats, illustrating the remote and arid character of the Nevada interior in the early 21st century.
