2018 Map of Unionville

About this map

Unionville sits at the base of a canyon system where the mountains meet the expansive Buena Vista Valley. This Nevada settlement is a gateway to numerous drainages including Peru Canyon, Buena Vista Canyon, and Jackson Canyon, illustrating a classic Great Basin topographic pattern where seasonal water and canyon access dictated development. Modern transport via State Hwy 400 and the Lovelock-Unionville Rd intersects with deep historical routes like the Old Emigrant Rd, which skirts the western edge of the valley. Notable water sources such as Harrison Spring and intermittent streams like Cottonwood Cr provide rare points of relief in this arid landscape. The map captures the intersection of early pioneer pathways and the modern rural infrastructure required to manage the vast high-desert basins of Pershing County.
