About this map

The Arrow Canyon Range dominates the central landscape of this Nevada survey, showing a rugged terrain of high-elevation benchmarks and desert washes. To the west, a portion of the Desert National Wildlife Range is preserved, while the eastern edge is defined by the Dry Lake Valley. The valley floor features an Akali Flat, indicating the arid, endorheic drainage characteristic of the region during the 1980s.

Evidence of human utility and infrastructure is present in the lower elevations, marked by a Trans Line and a Rock Quarry. Surveying points like BM Bible 2350 and BM 2147 Garnet 2291 provide specific touchpoints for land navigation and historical property research. The presence of a Levee and Borrow Pit in the southern reaches highlights local efforts to manage the sparse but occasionally significant water flow through this high-desert basin.
