About this map

Evans Lake and the high-desert basins of the Nevada interior are documented in this 1980 survey, showing the remote borderlands where Humboldt Co and Elko Co meet. The landscape is defined by its isolation and utility, featuring a long Pipeline that cuts across the northern reaches and a solitary Landing Strip situated among the contours of the high country. An Indefinite Boundary marks the eastern edge of the quadrangle near the shores of Button Lake, suggesting the challenges of surveying this complex terrain. Movement through the area is restricted to a network of Jeep Trails, which provide the only access to the seasonal water features like the simple Lake and Creek at the southern end of the sheet. This map serves as a detailed record of land use and geography in a sparsely populated region of the Great Basin.
