1980 Map of Black Rock Point West

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Black Rock Desert dominates this 1980 survey, revealing a landscape defined by its vast alkali flats and hydrothermal activity. The area sits at the intersection of the Humboldt and Pershing County line, where the terminal Quinn River spreads across the desert floor. This map captures the natural geography of the Great Basin, focusing on the prominent Black Rock Point and the geothermal features that dot the eastern margin of the playa. Geothermal activity is central to the area's identity, with both Black Rock Springs and additional Hot Springs noted along the desert edge. Infrastructure is nearly nonexistent, limited to a single Jeep Trail and a lone Well, illustrating the isolation of this corner of Nevada before it became a globally recognized event site.
