1966 Map of Alkali Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Alkali Lake dominates this high desert basin, situated within the Long Valley (Depression). The landscape is defined by its hydrologic features, with numerous seeps and springs dotting the valley floor, including the named Warm Springs located north of the lake bed. This environment suggests a seasonal water cycle typical of the Great Basin, where surface water is scarce and localized. Human activity is represented by the Bandy Ranch in the southwest and a solitary gravel pit, connected by a network of unimproved routes and a designated Jeep Trail. These elements indicate a territory primarily used for ranching and resource extraction, where life follows the availability of water in an otherwise arid expanse.
