1990 Map of Humboldt Salt Marsh
USGS Topo · Published 1990About this map
Humboldt Salt Marsh (Depression) dominates the floor of Dixie Valley in this late-twentieth-century study of the Churchill County basin. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral nature of water in a high-desert environment, where expansive Alkali Flat areas are punctuated by small, vital hydrologic features. Human activity and livestock management are evidenced by the presence of the Dye-Elias Well and a Flowing Well, alongside more natural sources such as Buckbrush Spring. Access through this remote terrain is limited to 4wd tracks that navigate the wash-cut slopes and the edges of the marsh depression, illustrating the area's isolation and its reliance on scattered groundwater sources for any functional use.
