2018 Map of West of McKinney Pass

About this map

Buena Vista Valley dominates the western half of this 2018 study, showcasing the expansive, low-lying drainage typical of the Great Basin's basin-and-range topography. The eastern edge of the map rises sharply toward the Humboldt Range, defined by the drainage of Root Spring Canyon. These stark elevation changes are captured in 20-foot contour intervals, illustrating the divide between the flat valley floor and the high-desert mountain flanks. Infrastructure is sparse, primarily consisting of the Fas 615 roadway which skirts the base of the mountains. The survey accurately maintains the Public Land Survey System grid across multiple townships, including t27n r36e, providing a precise reference for land ownership and geodetic positioning in a largely uninhabited stretch of Pershing County.
