2018 Map of Basque Summit

About this map

Cedar Creek flows through the high-elevation terrain of Churchill County in this modern 2018 topographic survey. The landscape is defined by the steep relief of the Great Basin, where seasonal watercourses like the creek carve through the arid topography. This particular map focuses on the natural drainage patterns and the remote geography typical of the Nevada interior, providing a precise record of the physical environment as it existed in the early 21st century. While few man-made landmarks appear in the immediate vicinity of this drainage, the map provides the necessary context for understanding the hydrology and elevation changes in this part of the state.
