2018 Map of Black Rock Point East

About this map

The vast, flat expanse of the Black Rock Desert dominates this landscape, where the ephemeral Quinn River meanders across the basin floor. This 2018 survey documents a region defined by dramatic elevation changes, transitioning from the dry lakebed up to the high points of the Black Rock Range. To the north, the terrain ascends sharply toward Rocky Peak, while the lower elevations show the complex public land survey system grid across the Humboldt and Pershing County line. The map highlights the intersection of stark desert geology and political boundaries, providing a clear record of the basin's drainage patterns and the isolated peaks that serve as landmarks in this part of northwestern Nevada.
