1986 Map of Dry Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Moapa River Indian Reservation occupies the northern edge of this high-desert basin, where the Dry Lake Range separates two distinct drainage systems. The Dry Lake Valley to the west is dominated by the namesake Dry Lake and an adjacent Alkali Flat, characteristic of the endorheic basins found throughout this region. Transport and industrial activity are concentrated along the southwestern corridor, defined by the Union Pacific railroad and the highway marked 15. Here, the small settlement of Garnet and a Barrow Pit indicate local utility and resource extraction. The eastern portion of the map is defined by the broad California Wash, which carves through the arid landscape between the mountain slopes and the tribal boundary lines.
