2012 Map of White Horse Pass

About this map

White Horse Pass serves as a critical topographic crossing in Elko County, marking where the landscape transitions through the high desert of eastern Nevada. This 2012 survey highlights the primary transportation corridors that navigate this interior basin, centered on the intersection of Alt 93 and the route toward Ibapah Rd. The terrain is defined by broad alluvial features, most notably the expansive White Horse Flat and the drainage patterns of Ferber Wash that cut across the eastern portion of the quadrangle. To the south, Little White Horse Pass provides an alternative gap in the ridgeline. The map reflects a modern era of land management by the United States Geological Survey, focusing on the sparse but vital network of roads and natural watercourses that define this high-altitude cattle and mining country.
