2014 Map of Whitney Pocket

About this map

Little Virgin Peak and Black Ridge dominate the northern landscape of this Clark County interior, where the high desert terrain transitions toward the northeastern reaches of the Mojave Desert. This 2014 survey documents a region defined by its isolation and topographical complexity, centered on the landmark formation of Whitney Pocket in the southeast. Water access in this arid environment is represented by South Key West Spring, a vital point for early travel through the Virgin Mountains. The map highlights the sparse transportation network that facilitates access to these remote reaches, including Gold Butte Rd, Nays Ranch Rd, and the managed corridor of Nps-112. For historians and researchers, the map provides a precise layout of the Public Land Survey System township and range lines that structured development in this portion of Nevada.
