1981 Map of Bluewing Flat South

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Granite Springs Valley dominates this high-desert landscape in Pershing County, where the stark topography of Nevada's Great Basin is recorded with precision. The map centers on the transition from the expansive Bluewing Flat to the north into the broader valley floor, capturing a segment of the desert characterized by seasonal drainage patterns and sparse infrastructure. The presence of Sage Hen Wash illustrates the intermittent water flow that defines this arid terrain, while a lone Water Tank on the eastern edge serves as a rare indicator of human utility in an otherwise uninhabited stretch of the basin. This 1981 edition, based on mid-1970s aerial photography, provides a clear view of the natural contours and drainage networks before any modern large-scale alterations, making it a valuable reference for understanding the primitive state of this remote Nevada valley.
