2014 Map of Carson Sink SW

About this map

The Carson Sink dominates this desert landscape, revealing the expansive basin of a terminal prehistoric lakebed in Churchill County. This low-elevation expanse is defined by the ephemeral waters of the Humboldt Slough, which marks the drainage point for regional waterways. The northern edge of the map features the sharp rise of the Mopung Hills, providing a stark contrast to the surrounding flats. Human activity is represented primarily by Pole Line Rd, which cuts horizontally across the terrain, indicating the historical development of utility corridors through the Great Basin. This survey provides a clear view of the complex hydrography and public land divisions, including t23n r29e, during a period of modern geospatial recording.
