About this map

The borderlands of Utah and Nevada converge at Garrison, a remote settlement situated at the base of the Burbank Hills. This 2023 survey delineates the complex water systems of the Great Basin, where Snake Creek and Lake Creek drain toward the basin floor, eventually feeding into the southern expanse of Preuss Lake. The landscape transition is marked by the rugged eastern edge of the Humboldt National Forest, which gives way to the alluvial plains bisected by numerous rural routes like Big Wash Canyon Rd and Black Rock-Chrystal Peak Rd.

Local genealogy is well-supported by the inclusion of both the Baker City Cem and the Garrison Cem, located on opposite sides of the state line. The hydrological significance of the area is further emphasized by the presence of Spring Creek Spring and the drainage of Big Wash, illustrating how seasonal and perennial water sources shaped the positioning of local roads and early ranching corridors in Millard and White Pine counties.
