2018 Map of Boies Reservoir

About this map

Boies Reservoir serves as a focal point in this high-altitude basin of northeastern Nevada, where the drainage of Jakes Cr and its various forks converge. The landscape is defined by the eastern reaches of the Snake Mountains and the dramatic incision of Harris Canyon. This area represents the arid cattle-ranching country of the Great Basin, where reliable water sources like Corral Spring and Dead Bull Spring were essential for survival. The presence of the O'Neil Co Rd indicates the historic transit routes connecting the remote townships of t43n r62e and t43n r63e. The complex network of seasonal drainages, including Dead Bull Cr and Dry Cr, illustrates the hydrological pattern of a region defined by snowmelt and intermittent desert flows.
