2014 Map of Waldy Pond

About this map

Jakes Valley dominates this high-elevation landscape in White Pine County, showing the intersection of historic transit corridors and vital water sources. The namesake Waldy Pond and the seasonal flow of Illipah Cr provide the primary water features in an area defined by wide alluvial basins and rising mountain slopes. This 2014 survey documents the enduring path of the Old Lincoln Hwy, a route of significant importance to early transcontinental travel in the American West. The alignment of Jakes Wash Rd further illustrates the established network of desert roads that connect this remote basin to the broader regional infrastructure. The map provides a clear record of the public land survey system, with township and range lines like t17n r60e and t16n r61e delineating the vast open spaces of the Great Basin.
