1982 Map of Gallagher Flat

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Quinn River meanders through this arid landscape in the early 1980s, carving a path through the expansive Gallagher Flat and into the Silver State Valley. This provisional study highlights the vital importance of water management in the Great Basin, evidenced by the distribution of named wells and windmills across the terrain. Remnants of human presence are scattered along the riverbank and basin floor, most notably at Domingo Cabin and River Ranch, sites that suggest a history of seasonal ranching or long-term habitation. The terrain is largely defined by numerous Alkali Flats, emphasizing the high evaporation rates and mineral-rich soils characteristic of this Nevada basin. This map serves as a detailed record of remote infrastructure, including the Single Wood Pole Power Line and isolated points like Little Windmill and Hanks Well.
