2014 Map of Downeyville

About this map

Lodi and its surrounding desert basins anchor this Nevada interior landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century. The terrain is defined by the sharp verticality of the Paradise Range and the Lodi Hills, which separate the expansive Lodi Valley from Gabbs Valley to the south. Transport through this high-desert corridor centers on State Route 361, which cuts a diagonal path toward Gabbs Airport. The intermittent waters of Gabbs Wash and drainage through Craig Canyon illustrate the arid hydrology typical of this Great Basin region. To the southeast, the protected lands of the Toiyabe National Forest begin their ascent, while the map's grid detail traces the townships and ranges that have governed this remote territory since the frontier era.
