1979 Map of Boulder Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Hays Canyon Range dominates the western portion of this Great Basin landscape, where steep slopes descend into the broad basins of Boulder Flat and Long Valley (Depression). Water management is the primary signature of human presence in this arid region of Washoe County during the late 1970s. The map documents a network of vital water sources for ranching and survival, from the Button Brush Windmill and Rye Grass Well to several small catchments like Bedrock Reservoir, Orphan Reservoir, and Lords Lake.
