2018 Map of Bottle Creek Slough SW

About this map

Desert Valley dominates this arid landscape in Humboldt County, where the intricate drainage patterns of the Bottle Creek Slough wind across the basin. This 2018 survey illustrates the vast, unpopulated character of the High Desert during the early 21st century, defined largely by its Public Land Survey System grids rather than urban infrastructure. The map documents the essential hydrology of the region, showing how the ephemeral Bottle Creek Slough meanders through the valley floor, providing a critical reference for understanding water movement in this remote part of Nevada. Historical boundaries, including the townships of t40n r34e, t40n r33e, and t39n r34e, provide the primary structural framework for the terrain, reflecting the long-standing rectangular survey system used to manage these expansive public lands.
