1893 Map of Disaster

USGS Topo · Published 1909

About this map

The high desert terrain of Northwest Nevada's Humboldt region is defined here by dramatic vertical relief and geothermal activity, as surveyed in the early 1880s by G.K. Gilbert. This reconnaissance map highlights the immense Pine Forest Mountains and Jackson Mountains, which loom over the Black Rock Desert. Water is the critical scarcity in this landscape, marked by the intermittent Sink of Quinn River and the thermal waters of numerous Hot Springs scattered throughout the basins.
