About this map

Carson Sink dominates this interior portion of Churchill County, Nevada, where the desert landscape meets the terminus of the Carson River watershed. The area is defined by its vast alkaline flats and seasonal wetlands, illustrating a unique terminal basin environment where water from the Sierra Nevada mountains eventually evaporates. This 2018 survey emphasizes the Carson Sink as a focal point of the regional hydrography, showing how the basin functions without an outlet to the sea. The cartography is structured by the Public Land Survey System, with boundaries for t23n r30e, t23n r31e, t22n r30e, and t22n r31e providing the primary spatial framework for this undeveloped expanse of the Great Basin.
