West Wendover and Wendover straddle the state line in this early 21st-century mapping of the high desert borderlands. The landscape is defined by the stark transition from the Lippy Hills, featuring landmarks like Window Rock and Needle Point, down toward the expansive flatlands. Aviation history and modern transport are prominent, with the extensive grounds of the Wendover Airport complemented by smaller facilities like the Bush Leland Landing Strip and Dover Field. The map records the local infrastructure of the era, from the residential grids of Eastline to the established Wendover Cemetery. Farther south, the isolated settlement of Ninemile sits along the roadway, illustrating the sparse but vital transport nodes required to navigate this portion of the Great Basin.
