2015 Map of Gallagher Flat

About this map

The Quinn River meanders through the arid expanse of northern Nevada, carving a path through the Silver State Valley. This 2015 survey illustrates a vast basin landscape dominated by alkaline terrain and seasonal water patterns. To the south, the topography rises into the Slumbering Hills, while the central portion of the sheet is marked by the distinct catchment of Gallagher Flat. These features reveal the hydrologic character of the Great Basin, where internal drainage creates large playas. The presence of River Ranch Rd and Riverside Ranch Rd suggests the continued importance of ranching access in this sparsely populated region, connecting the lowlands with the higher elevations of the surrounding ranges.
