1982 Map of Bottle Creek Slough SW

About this map

Bottle Creek Slough winds through this arid portion of Humboldt County, Nevada, defining a landscape marked by its hydraulic infrastructure and desert terrain. This 1982 provisional map details a series of water wells, including Ww #1 through Ww #5, which served the region's ranching or industrial needs. The presence of Alta Well No 1 in the southern portion of the quadrangle further emphasizes the importance of groundwater management in this environment. Much of the surrounding area is characterized by Alkali Flats, where seasonal water evaporation leaves behind mineral deposits. The map provides a clear look at the township and range divisions, specifically where T 40 N T 39 N meets R 33 E R 34 E, reflecting the systematic surveying of the Great Basin.
