1980 Map of Black Rock Point West

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Black Rock Desert dominates this western Nevada landscape, appearing as a massive, featureless expanse that highlights the arid isolation of the Great Basin. This 1980 edition, based on earlier field checks and aerial photography, reveals a stark geography where water sources are critical but sparse. To the east, the shoreline of the playa is punctuated by thermal features like Black Rock Springs (Hot) and other unnamed Springs (Hot). These natural outlets, along with a solitary Well, represent the lifeblood of this desert environment. The Quinn River flows toward the southern portion of the sheet, while the prominent landmark of Black Rock Point rises above the basin floor. Human presence is minimal, marked only by a rudimentary Jeep Trail and the administrative boundary between Humboldt and Pershing counties.
