2014 Map of West of Railroad Pass

About this map

Corwin stands at the eastern edge of the expansive Diamond Valley in this 2014 survey of Nevada's high desert. The landscape is defined by the dramatic rise of the Diamond Mountains to the east, where the terrain breaks into several notable drainages including Fourmile Canyon, Fivemile Canyon, and Davis Canyon. This map captures the transition from the flat, arid basin floor to the steep verticality of the range, highlighting the isolated nature of settlements in the Eureka County interior. Infrastructure is sparse, primarily represented by Co Road 1, which skirts the base of the mountains to connect the remote outpost of Corwin with the broader valley. The layout reflects a classic Great Basin settlement pattern, where habitable space is dictated by the proximity to the mountain front and its seasonal runoff.
