About this map

Little Virgin Peak dominates the northern reaches of this Clark County landscape, serving as a prominent landmark in a region defined by arid washes and steep topography. The 2012 survey illustrates a sparse network of access routes, primarily defined by the intersection of Virgin River Rd and the long, diagonal stretch of New Gold Butte Rd. These roads provide the primary passage through the high desert terrain, connecting isolated points of interest across the quadrangle.

Whitney Pocket sits in the southeastern corner, marking a rare named settlement or staging area within this expansive territory. Water sources are critically sparse, with South Key West Spring noted in the north, indicating the vital importance of localized hydrology for travelers and early inhabitants. This map captures the area's character as a crossroads of high-elevation peaks and essential desert corridors prior to more modern developments.
