2021 Map of Alcatraz Island
USGS Topo · Published 2021About this map
Clayton Valley dominates the northern reaches of this high-desert landscape in Esmeralda County, where the topography shifts from the flats of the Ralston Desert to the prominent heights of Clayton Ridge. The map documents a sparsely settled region defined by wide alluvial basins and distinct landforms, including the oddly named Alcatraz Island and Angel Island, which stand as isolated rises within the valley floor rather than maritime features. Transportation is limited to functional desert routes such as the Silver Peak-Railroad Springs Rd and the S Clayton Valley East-West Rd, which navigate around the drainage patterns of Lida Wash and Birch Cr. This 2021 survey illustrates the modern configuration of public lands and township boundaries in one of Nevada's most arid and open corridors.
