2018 Map of Calcutta Lake
USGS Topo · Published 2018About this map
Calcutta Lake and the seasonally shifting waters of Middle Lake define this high-desert basin in northern Washoe County. The landscape is a network of arid drainage systems and isolated water sources, where Willow Cr and Bull Mountain Cr provide intermittent flow through canyons such as Cottonwood Canyon and Bald Mountain Canyon. These features illustrate the precarious nature of water in the Great Basin, where named points like Sage Hen Springs and Antelope Spring likely served as critical landmarks for early travelers and ranching interests.
