2018 Map of Battleground Point

About this map

Carson Sink dominates this desert landscape in Churchill County, where the hydrological patterns of the Great Basin dictate the geography. The map reveals the intricate braided channels of the Carson River as it terminates into the basin, featuring the West Fork of Old River and Timber Lake. These waterways create a complex environment of marshes and seasonal ponds, highlighted by uniquely named landmarks such as Botulism Bay. The terrain is characterized by slightly elevated features like Pelican Island and Battleground Point, which rise above the surrounding flats. Beyond the remote Leter Rd, the area is defined by its Public Land Survey System grid, which segments the vast alkali flats and terminal river forks into townships like t21n r30e.
