About this map

The high desert terrain of Washoe County meets the steep eastern slopes of the Granite Range in this modern topographic survey. The landscape is defined by the transition between the arid flats of the Smoke Creek Desert and the more varied topography of the Granite Basin. Local hydrology is marked by isolated water sources such as Deep Hole Spring and Gerlach Spring, which provide critical points of interest in an otherwise parched environment.

Navigational landmarks like Bloody Point and Godeys Rock serve as anchor points along the western edge of the expansive Black Rock Desert. The northern portion of the map is bisected by the Surprise Valley Rd, which follows the contours of the range near Godeys Gap. A few specific named markers, such as the point labeled Phil, offer rare evidence of human activity or specific locales in this sparsely populated region.
