About this map

The settlement of Henry serves as a lone point of reference in this high-desert landscape of northeast Nevada. The terrain is defined by dramatic changes in elevation, from the prominent White Ridge and Big Devils Table in the west to the heights of China Mtn and the Granite Range in the east. Hydrological patterns here are seasonal and sparse, marked by the winding courses of Salmon Falls Cr, Townsend Cr, and Jakes Cr.

Remote and sparsely populated, the area is characterized by vast drainage basins like Cottonwood Canon and rugged gulches such as McDuffy Gulch. This 2021 survey illustrates a region where land use is dictated by geography, with few roads aside from Oneil Co Rd and Highway 93. Features like Sagehen Spring highlight the critical role of isolated water sources for rangeland management and wildlife in the Great Basin.
