1990 Map of West of McKinney Pass

About this map

Buena Vista Valley dominates this arid basin landscape in Pershing County, where the transition between high desert terrain and prehistoric lakebeds is clearly marked. The map traces the prominent Dry Lake Shore Line as it edges against the Alkali Flat, a remnant of the region's ancient hydrological history. In an area defined by its scarcity of water, isolated resources like a Spring and a Well provide essential markers for land use and survival in the basin. The landscape is further characterized by deposits of Sand and the broad, open reach of Antelope to the south. Man-made interventions are sparse but specific, including a Borrow Pit and a network of 4wd tracks that represent the modern human footprint within this expansive alluvial environment.
