2014 Map of Forest Home NE

About this map

White River Valley occupies the southeastern corner of this quadrangle in Nye County, Nevada, where the drainage of the Sandy Wash meets the desert floor. The map documents a sparsely populated landscape defined by water management and vital desert springs. Lower Perish Spring is marked in the northern hills, a critical reference point for local land use and hydrology. Further south, the presence of Forest Home Reservoir Number 5 suggests the localized infrastructure required for ranching or irrigation in this arid environment. This 2014 survey captures the township and range divisions of the Public Land Survey System across the transition from high-relief terrain to the valley basin, providing a clear record of land partitioning in the Great Basin.
