2018 Map of Clapper Creek

About this map

Black Rock Desert and the sharply rising Black Rock Range dominate this northern Nevada landscape, illustrating the dramatic basin-and-range geography of Humboldt County. This 2018 survey documents a region defined by its hydrographic extremes, from the seasonal drainage of Clapper Cr to the permanent water source at White Rock Springs. The presence of the Wheeler Reservoir in the western reaches suggests a long-standing reliance on managed water storage in an otherwise arid environment. This map serves as a contemporary record of the public land survey system divisions across townships including t39n r26e and t38n r25e, providing a precise look at the land ownership and natural boundaries that characterize this part of the Great Basin.
