1979 Map of Carson Sink

About this map

The Carson Sink dominates this interior Nevada landscape, a vast desert basin where the Humboldt River and Carson River terminate. In the late 1970s, the region was a complex patchwork of conservation, military use, and resource extraction. The Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge and Fallon National Wildlife Refuge preserve critical wetlands like Big Water and Foxtail Lake, providing a stark contrast to the nearby US Navy Bombing Target Area.
