2011 Map of Alkali

About this map

Alkali Hot Spring serves as a central landmark in this high-desert landscape of Esmeralda County, where the small settlement of Alkali sits at the intersection of local routes. The terrain is defined by dry drainage systems and significant elevations, including the prominent Flattop Mountain to the south and the winding path of Big Wash in the northeast. Transportation through this arid region is facilitated by Silver Peak Rd and Powerline Rd, which cut across the open basin. This survey provides a precise view of the topography surrounding Indian Springs Canyon, illustrating the relationship between scarce water sources and the sparse infrastructure of the Nevada desert.
