1985 Map of Water Gap East

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Golden Gate Range dominates the western portion of this 1980s field-checked study, where steep ridgelines descend into the broad expanse of Coal Valley. The landscape is defined by the sharp topographical break at Water Gap, a distinct geologic feature where Cherry Creek cuts through the range. This area of eastern Nevada exhibits the classic basin and range structure, with high-elevation peaks rising abruptly from the valley floor. The map records the county line between Nye and Lincoln Counties, providing a precise look at the jurisdictional boundaries in this sparsely populated region. Human presence is limited to scattered unimproved roads and a few infrastructure markers like the WT station, reflecting the persistent isolation of these desert interior basins during the late twentieth century.
