1986 Map of Baking Powder Flat

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Baking Powder Flat dominates this high-desert basin in White Pine County, showing a landscape defined by scarce water sources and expansive terrain during the mid-1980s. The map highlights the essential role of springs and wells in this arid environment, featuring North Spring, Doyles Well, and the seasonal moisture of The Seep. Near the western edge of the Humboldt National Forest, the vegetation transitions at The Cedars, while active geological processes are evident in the Sand Dunes that shift across the flat. Local human presence is sparse but concentrated at Scottys Meadow, with evidence of infrastructure in the form of a Landing Strip and an Aqueduct. The geography suggests a region primarily used for grazing and resource management, supported by numerous unnamed wells and ditches that crisscross the valley floor.
