2018 Map of West of Christina Peak

About this map

Diamond Valley dominates this high-desert basin in Eureka County, revealing a landscape organized by both historic passage and modern grid-work. The legendary Pony Express Trl cuts across the northern reaches of the quadrangle, tracing the path of the short-lived but famous mail service through this arid terrain. Below this historic corridor, the map shows a shift toward rural development and systematic land use, defined by a network of numbered and named thoroughfares. Local routes such as Keg Rd, Moyle Dr, and Co Rd 101 service a sparse arrangement of properties and range land. The intersection of these modern local roads, like 19th St and Mustang St, against the backdrop of the broad valley floor illustrates the long-standing efforts to navigate and settle this segment of the Great Basin.
