2021 Map of Gilbert Creek NW

About this map

The Augusta Mountains dominate the western portion of this landscape, their ridges forming the natural boundary between Churchill and Lander Counties. This transition between high ground and the drainage systems of Antelope Valley to the east reflects the classic Basin and Range topography of the region. The map tracks the passage through Cain Spring Pass, a significant local navigational point in the high terrain. Below the peaks, the hydrology is defined by seasonal waterways like Antelope Cr and Gilbert Cr, which weave through the flats and illustrate the complex drainage patterns of the high desert. The survey provides precise details on the land management grid, including numerous township and range lines that have governed local property and grazing rights since the early settlement of the Great Basin.
