2021 Map of Battleground Point

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

The vast terminal basin of the Carson Sink dominates this portion of Churchill County, where the desert landscape is defined by the shifting hydrologic patterns of the Lahontan Valley. The complex drainage of the Carson River terminates here, creating a labyrinth of seasonal wetlands and distinctive landforms like Pelican Island and the namesake Battleground Point. This territory is characterized by its hydraulic history, visible in the winding channels of the West Fork of Old River and the isolated waters of Timber Lake. While the geography is predominantly natural, the human imprint is marked by the presence of Leter Rd and the formal township and range boundaries that grid the alkali flats. The naming of Botulism Bay suggests the specific environmental challenges faced by local waterfowl in this heavy mineral environment, providing a window into the ecological character of this arid sink.
