About this map

Fish Creek Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Lander County, dividing the terrain into distinct catchments and basins. This 2014 survey reveals a network of intermittent watercourses, including Daisy Cr and Fish Cr, which navigate the steep elevation changes of the Great Basin. The cartography provides precise detail for hikers and geologists tracing the pass between the ridges at Daisy Pass, an area where the elevation reaches over 7,400 feet before descending into the broad Fish Creek Basin to the east.

In the southern reaches of the map, Cottonwood Basin is drained by Cottonwood Cr, illustrating the typical drainage patterns of Nevada's interior ranges. Fish Creek Rd provides the primary transit route through this terrain, following the natural contours of the land. This map is an essential reference for understanding the public land survey system divisions across Townships 26, 27, and 28 North.
