About this map

Butterfield Marsh dominates the southern half of this landscape in Nye County, creating an extensive wetland complex within the Great Basin's arid environment. The map highlights the delicate hydrology of the region, where internal drainage basins collect seasonal runoff. To the north, the terrain transitions toward the Big Well Ponds, another localized water feature that underscores the vital importance of surface water in this high-desert territory. Surveyed by the U.S. Geological Survey, the sheet documents the Public Land Survey System grid across multiple townships, including t8n r56e and t9n r56e. These boundaries and water features illustrate the traditional land divisions and the natural constraints that have shaped Nevada's interior ranching and resource management history.
