2018 Map of Forest Home NE

About this map

White River Valley defines the eastern portion of this Nye County quadrangle, where the arid basin floor meets the rising terrain of the Great Basin. This 2018 survey documents a landscape focused on critical water management in a high-desert environment, anchored by Forest Home Reservoir Number 5 in the southeast. The map illustrates the sparse distribution of water sources, such as Lower Perish Spring in the north and the intermittent drainage of Sandy Wash. These isolated features indicate the historical and contemporary importance of water rights and livestock management in this part of Nevada, where public land boundaries like t7n r59e and t6n r60e segment the open range.
