2021 Map of Bonnie Claire

About this map

Bonnie Claire serves as the primary point of human settlement in this high-desert landscape of Nye County, positioned along the edge of the Gold Mountain Range. The topography is defined by the stark transition from mountain peaks to the expansive basins of Sarcobatus Flat and the northern reaches of the Amargosa Range. Drainage patterns across this arid environment are marked by features such as Tolicha Wash and the localized Coyote Holes, indicating the scarce water sources that dictated the movement and activity of early travelers and miners in the region. To the south, the terrain rises sharply into the Grapevine Mountains, where complex contouring reveals the steep elevations characteristic of the Nevada-California borderlands. This 2021 update maintains the documented land divisions of t8s r43e and t9s r44e, providing a precise modern reference for the remote geography of the Great Basin.
