2018 Map of Basalt

About this map

Basalt stands as the primary namesake settlement in this arid corner of Mineral County, positioned at the edge of the Candelaria Hills. This 2018 survey documents the intricate drainage patterns and steep elevation changes that characterize the High Desert landscape of western Nevada. The map highlights the intersection of local infrastructure and public land management, where the high-altitude terrain is divided into the Public Land Survey System grids of t3n r32e, t3n r33e, t2n r32e, and t2n r33e. For researchers and historians, this edition provides a contemporary benchmark for identifying the sparse road networks and topographic landmarks that define the region's modern geography.
