About this map

The Awapa Plateau dominates this high-elevation landscape in Piute County, where drainage patterns and remote peaks define the territory. The map reveals a network of intermittent watercourses and topographic landmarks, notably Jakes Knoll and Red Knoll, which serve as primary navigational points in this arid upland. The limited human infrastructure is represented by Deadman Rd, a lonely thoroughfare winding through the northern portion of the quadrangle.

Erosion has carved distinct features into the plateau, such as Okerlund Draw and Sage Flat Draw, which channel seasonal runoff toward larger basins like Parker Hollow and Big Hollow. These landforms, along with high points like Parker Mountain and Pine Peaks, illustrate the complex drainage systems of the Great Basin region. This survey captures a moment of topographical stability in a region where local names like Bull Roost and Cyclone Knoll reflect the area’s ranching heritage and weather-beaten environment.
