2018 Map of Cherry Creek SE

About this map

Buffalo Valley dominates this 2018 topographic landscape, situated at the jurisdictional meeting point of Humboldt, Pershing, and Lander counties. The terrain is characterized by broad alluvial fans and drainage networks that descend toward the valley floor, most notably via Cherry Cr and Timber Cr. In the southwestern corner of the quadrangle, the headwaters of Perry Canyon Cr emerge from the rising slopes. This modern survey illustrates a classic Great Basin hydrologic pattern, where seasonal watercourses trace paths through a sparsely developed interior. The map clearly defines the precise corner where three major Nevada counties intersect, a point of particular interest for those tracking regional boundary shifts and land management history in this part of the state.
