2018 Map of Jackson Well

About this map

Desert Valley dominates this arid landscape in northwestern Nevada, showing the stark transition between the valley floor and the rising elevations of the Slumbering Hills. The map centers on the crucial water source of Jackson Well, a named landmark in an area defined more by its terrain and natural features than by dense settlement. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by the linear path of Sod House Rd, which provides one of the few navigational corridors through the region. This 2018 survey reveals the methodical grid of the Public Land Survey System, with township and range lines such as t40n r35e overlaying the basin, illustrating how modern administrative boundaries are imposed upon the ancient, unchanged topography of the Great Basin.
