2015 Map of Clapper Creek

About this map

Black Rock Range dominates the eastern landscape of this Humboldt County quadrangle, descending into the wide, arid expanse of the Black Rock Desert to the west. The terrain is defined by a series of steep drainages, most notably Clapper Cr, which flows southward through the center of the survey. Human presence in this high-desert environment is marked primarily by ranching and water management infrastructure, including Wheeler Reservoir and Parman Reservoir. The primary artery through this remote section of Nevada is Soldier Meadow Rd, which cuts diagonally across the basin floor. At the higher elevations of the range, localized water sources like White Rock Springs provide critical points of interest for those tracking historical land use and early surveying lines within the township and range grid.
