1987 Map of Hinkson Slough

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

Mason Valley is defined by a complex irrigation and drainage network that serves both agriculture and wildlife conservation. This 1980s landscape showcases the engineering required to manage water in the high desert, featuring extensive infrastructure such as Merritt Ditch, Joggles Ditch, and the Nichols-Merritt Ditch. These waterways weave across the valley floor, feeding into the Wildlife Management Area and Hinkson Slough. To the east, the steep rising slopes of the Wassuk Range contrast sharply with the flat basin, where numerous prospect markings and adits suggest a history of mineral exploration. The northern boundary is marked by the Walker River Indian Reservation along the course of the Walker River, anchoring the map in a region where tribal lands, state managed wildlife zones, and private enterprise intersect.
