2018 Map of West of Flattop Mountain

About this map

Homer Wash carves a distinct path through this section of the Mojave Desert, defining the low-lying drainage patterns between the eastern Sacramento Mountains and the broad expanse of Ward Valley. This 2018 survey illustrates a sparsely developed desert landscape where infrastructure is limited to essential transport corridors, including the remote Camino Airstrip and a network of desert tracks like Walter Rd and Water Rd. The map provides a precise look at the topography around South Pass, a natural gateway through the high ground that has long influenced movement across this arid interior. The presence of section lines across T9N R19E and T9N R20E reflects the systematic grid of public land management in an area largely characterized by its natural terrain features rather than permanent settlements.
