2012 Map of West of Beck Pass

About this map

Newark Valley dominates this 2012 topography, characterized by the expansive basin that defines the central geography of this portion of White Pine County. The landscape features the seasonally fluctuating Newark Lake, which occupies the northwestern portion of the quadrangle. In an arid environment where water sources are vital historical landmarks, Barrel Spring appears on the eastern slope of the valley, providing a specific point of interest for those studying early cattle ranching or transit routes through the Great Basin. Infrastructure is sparse, marked primarily by the diagonal path of Co RD-1, which cuts across the valley floor. The map illustrates the drainage patterns and alluvial fans common to the high desert, showing how water moves from the surrounding peaks toward the dry lake bed during periods of runoff.
