2021 Map of Waldy Pond

About this map

Jakes Valley dominates this high-altitude Nevada landscape, where the seasonal waters of Illipah Cr feed into the solitary basin of Waldy Pond. The terrain is characterized by broad alluvial fans and drainage washes, most notably those traced by Jakes Wash Rd. Historically, the area is defined by its role as a transit corridor, as evidenced by the presence of the Old Lincoln Hwy. This route across the White Pine County basin follows a more direct, traditional path compared to modern thoroughfares, marking the evolution of early transcontinental travel through the Great Basin. The grid of the Public Land Survey System, including t17n r60e and t17n r61e, provides the underlying structure for this sparsely settled ranching and grazing territory.
