2011 Map of Cherry Creek SE

About this map

Buffalo Valley dominates this 2011 perspective of Nevada’s interior, where drainage patterns define the desert floor of Humboldt County. The landscape is characterized by intermittent watercourses like Cherry Creek and Timber Creek, which illustrate the hydrological character of the Great Basin. These alluvial features converge and disperse across the flats, reflecting a terrain shaped by seasonal moisture and drainage from surrounding heights. In the southwestern corner, Perry Canyon Creek emerges into the valley, marking one of the primary points where mountain runoff reaches the basin floor. This map captures a modern view of a largely uninhabited expanse, highlighting the enduring natural geography and primitive road networks that continue to serve ranching or mineral interests in this part of the state.
