2015 Map of East of Millett Ranch

About this map

Big Smoky Valley dominates this arid landscape in Nye County, where the topography reveals a stark environment of salt basins and mineral-rich depressions. The high-desert floor is characterized by the expansive Spaulding Salt Marsh and an extensive Alkali Flat, reflecting the natural drainage and evaporation patterns typical of the region. Transportation across this portion of the Great Basin is sparse, limited to specialized routes such as Lower Mine Rd and Dump Rd, which cut across the flats toward the rising slopes of the eastern and western ranges. This 2015 survey provides a precise look at the township and range divisions, showing the intersection of t15n r43e and t14n r44e within a landscape defined more by its geological features and mining-related access than by permanent settlement.
