2021 Map of Blue Wing Flat South

About this map

Blue Wing Flat dominates the northern reaches of this Pershing County landscape, where the expansive alkali sink and playa terrain characterize the Great Basin environment. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the dry lake bed gives way to the open stretches of Granite Springs Valley, a region defined by its internal drainage and desert scrub. The map illustrates the geometric precision of the Public Land Survey System, specifically within the boundaries of t27n r27e and t26n r27e, which overlay the shifting basin topography. This 2021 survey traces the modern hydrological and road network across a landscape where water and vegetation are dictated by the underlying geology of these expansive Nevada basins.
