2018 Map of Bonnie Claire

About this map

Bonnie Claire stands as a focal point in this high-desert landscape of Nye County, where the topography is defined by significant elevation changes between the valley floor and the surrounding peaks. The map reveals the stark geography of Sarcobatus Flat, an expansive basin that contrasts with the rising slopes of the Gold Mountain Range to the northwest and the Grapevine Mountains to the southwest. This 2018 survey detail shows how modern infrastructure like Us-95 traverses the arid terrain, passing near the northern reach of the Amargosa Range. Surface water is scarce, marked only by intermittent features such as Tolicha Wash and the descriptive Coyote Holes, illustrating the remote and arid character of this portion of the Great Basin.
