About this map

The Humboldt National Forest marks the eastern boundary of this arid basin, where seasonal drainages flow toward the valley floor. Water management is the primary human footprint in this corner of Nye County, evidenced by features such as Bull Creek Reservoir, a Water Tank, and Box Spring located near the forest edge. The landscape is defined by the convergence of Bull Creek and Duckwater Creek as they move south through the township. While primarily open range, the presence of several Drill Hole sites and a Gravel Pit along the 4WD tracks suggests periodic resource exploration and maintenance. These scattered markers and the network of primitive roads reveal the sparse, utilitarian nature of the high desert interior during the late twentieth century.
