1981 Map of Jayhawk Well

About this map

Kumiva Valley dominates this 1980s topographic perspective of the high desert along the border of Nevada’s Pershing and Washoe counties. The landscape is defined by its arid hydrology and sparse human infrastructure, centered on the Jayhawk Well and a solitary Corral located in the eastern portion of the valley. While topographic contours describe the basin floor and the surrounding rising terrain, the presence of a notable Depression in the northeast quadrant highlights the internal drainage patterns typical of this Great Basin environment. Land divisions for T 28 N and the ranges R 24 E and R 25 E provide a cadastral framework for this remote section of the Nevada desert.
