About this map

The Smoke Creek Desert and Black Rock Desert meet in this high-desert corridor of Washoe County, where the stark transition from alkali flats to the Granite Range is clearly defined. The landscape is marked by essential water sources like Deep Hole Spring and Gerlach Spring, which have long served travelers moving through this arid terrain. A solitary point labeled Phil sits near the base of the mountains, suggesting a localized landmark or specific property within the vast basin.

Transport is dictated by the curve of S R 447 and the historical path of Surprise Valley Rd, which skirt the edges of Squaw Creek Valley. Significant topographical landmarks such as Godeys Rock and Godeys Gap provide navigational anchors at the southern end of the range, while Bloody Point and Granite Point overlook the dry lake beds. This survey provides a precise look at the drainage patterns of Squaw Cr and Dry Cr as they vanish into the desert floor.
