Jordan Meadow sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape in northern Humboldt County, where drainage networks define the topography of the Great Basin. The terrain is characterized by broad basins like Jordan Meadow Flat and the expansive Trout Creek Valley, bounded by prominent elevations such as Jordan Meadow Mtn and the Sentinel Hills. Water resources, though often seasonal in this environment, are marked by Jordan Meadow Creek, Crowley Creek, and the essential Indian Spring at the southern edge of the survey. The primary human imprint on this remote area is the Jordan Meadow Road, which follows the natural contours of the valley, providing a singular corridor through the township and range divisions. This map serves as a detailed record of the hydrography and elevation of a classic Nevada rangeland before modern land-use shifts.
