2018 Map of Duckwater SE

About this map

Humboldt National Forest occupies the northeast corner of this high desert terrain, where the elevation rises significantly toward the mountain slopes. The arid landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, with Broom Canyon funneling seasonal water toward the plains. Perennial water sources are critical features for local history and ranching, including the Bull Cr Reservoir and natural outlets like Box Spring and Blue Spring. These water points, along with the paths of Duckwater Cr and Bull Cr, shaped the movement of people and livestock through Nye County. The map provides a clear look at the township and range survey lines that partitioned the Great Basin floor, showing the intersection of several sections including t11n r57e and t12n r57e.
