About this map

Jordan Meadow Flat defines the southwestern portion of this high-desert landscape on the border of Nevada and Oregon. This modern topographic study shows a complex network of drainage basins, with several seasonal streams flowing from the surrounding high ground toward the central meadow. The prominent Long Ridge runs through the northwestern quadrant, while the Sentinel Hills rise in the southeast, framing the local hydrology.

Water distribution across this arid terrain is traced through several named drainages, including McDermitt Cr in the north and the convergent paths of Washburn Cr and Little Washburn Cr. Further south, the Jordan Meadow Cr flows alongside Wildcat Cr and Little Wildcat Cr, illustrating the vital watershed patterns essential for land management in this cattle-ranching and wildlife region along the state line.
