2021 Map of Humboldt Salt Marsh

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Humboldt Salt Marsh dominates this portion of the Dixie Valley, where the hydrological patterns of Churchill County are clearly defined by the vast white expanse of the alkali flat. The map depicts a landscape where water is the primary architect of the terrain, though it is often ephemeral or subterranean. Toward the north, Dixie Meadows provides a distinct contrast to the salt-crusted basin, marking an area where subsurface moisture supports a localized ecosystem. The eastern edge of the quadrangle is defined by the alluvial fans descending toward the valley floor, cut by drainage features like Bernice Cr. To the southwest, Buckbrush Spring serves as a critical water source in an otherwise arid environment, typical of the Great Basin's basin-and-range topography. This map illustrates the intersection of Public Land Survey System boundaries, such as t23n r36e, across a floor where seasonal runoff and evaporation cycles dictate the land's character.
