Emigrant Pass

Among Nevada’s settlements, Emigrant Pass stands out for carrying Interstate 80 across a high divide in the Great Basin east of Battle Mountain. The surroundings belong to the Basin and Range landscape, where broad, dry valleys alternate with isolated mountain ridges and settlement is widely dispersed. Interstate 80 gives this remote pass a role on one of the principal transcontinental road routes across the United States, linking northern Nevada with the wider West.
