2017 Map of Adel

About this map

Adel serves as the primary settlement hub in this high-desert landscape, where the sharp verticality of Lynchs Rim and S Warner Rim transitions abruptly into the broad, wetland-rich floor of the Warner Valley. The geography is defined by its water management and geothermal features, notably the Crump Geyser and Crump Reservoir at the valley's edge. To the west, the terrain rises through the Sweeney Canyon and Gibson Canyon systems toward high plateaus like Squaw Flat. The map documents a sophisticated network of water resources vital for cattle ranching in the Great Basin, including the Crump Ditch, Pelican Lake, and several named livestock watering points such as Bug Waterhole and Sweeney Waterhole. Deep Creek Falls marks a significant hydrologic point where drainage from the uplands reaches the valley floor, feeding into the complex marsh system that characterizes the eastern half of the quadrangle.
