2021 Map of Duck Creek Valley

About this map

Duck Creek winds through the high basin of White Pine County, serving as the central hydrological feature of this mountain-locked valley. The waterway feeds into the Duck Creek Reservoir, a notable point of water management in a landscape defined by its arid mountain ranges and high-elevation drainage patterns. This modern topographic survey illustrates the enduring relationship between the valley floor and the surrounding ridges, where seasonal runoff from the Schell Creek Range and Duck Creek Range converges. The placement of the reservoir and the path of the creek reflect the essential role of water preservation in this part of eastern Nevada, where the geography dictates both the ecology and the historical utility of the land.
