1972 Map of Deer Creek Slough

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Black Rock Desert landscape of northwestern Nevada is defined by intricate drainage patterns and isolated outposts in this early 1970s survey. Human activity is concentrated at the Deer Creek Ranch and Leonard Creek Well, which serve as vital water-dependent nodes in an otherwise arid expanse. The hydrology of the region is centered on the Quinn River, which feeds into the Deer Creek Slough and Jackson Creek Slough. The Deer Creek Reservoir provides a managed water source for livestock or local operations, while Leonard Creek Road and a Gravel Pit near Windy Point indicate the modest infrastructure supporting ranching and resource extraction. This sheet captures the region's character as a frontier of high-desert agriculture and land management.
