About this map

Long Valley dominates this high-desert landscape in White Pine County, showing the characteristic basin and range structure of eastern Nevada. The area is defined by the steep rises of the Butte Mountains to the southeast, which contrast with the broad drainage paths of Long Valley Canyon and Burnt Canyon. These natural corridors reveal how water and gravity shaped the Great Basin over millennia. Human presence in this isolated reach is primarily marked by rural infrastructure, specifically White Pine Co Road 3 and White Pine Co Road 8, which follow the valley floor and cut through the low passes. This survey provides a precise look at the land division system within Township 19 North and Township 20 North, essential for understanding land use and boundary history in this arid interior.
