2021 Map of Clapper Creek

About this map

The Black Rock Desert dominates the southern reaches of this landscape, meeting the steep rising slopes of the Black Rock Range to the east. This transition from the flat, arid alkaline basin to the complex topography of the range illustrates the classic basin and range structure of Humboldt County. Water is a scarce and vital presence here, marked by the course of Clapper Cr and isolated points like White Rock Springs. To the west, Wheeler Reservoir sits at the edge of the desert floor, suggesting the human efforts to manage hydrology in a high-desert environment. The map captures the remote character of the region as it appeared during the 2017 to 2021 period, showing little in the way of modern infrastructure beyond survey township lines.
