1990 Map of West of Beck Pass

About this map

Elko-Hamilton Stage Route Lines cut a historical path through the basin of Newark Valley, documenting a transportation corridor that once linked the mining camps of eastern Nevada. The landscape is dominated by the vast, arid expanse of Newark Alkali Lake to the north and the rising elevations of the Ruby Mountains in the northeast. This 1990 provisional survey records the stark geography of White Pine County, where water remains the most critical resource for any traveler or rancher. Notable points such as Barrel Spring mark the rare locations where water reaches the surface in an otherwise dry environment of alluvial fans and sagebrush flats. The map provides a clear picture of the historical stage route's positioning relative to the desert floor and the surrounding mountain ranges.
