1981 Map of Gerlach
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
Gerlach stands as the primary hub of this high-desert region, situated at the southwestern edge of the massive Black Rock Desert. In the early 1980s, this landscape was defined by the industrial presence of Empire and the logistical infrastructure of the Western Pacific railroad, which skirts the eastern margins of the Granite Range. The map reveals a complex system of water management and natural drainage, from the Smoke Creek basin and Smoke Creek Res to the intricate network of springs such as White Heifer Springs and Poodle Spring that dot the arid basins.
