2014 Map of Kibby Flat

About this map

Kibby Flat dominates this high-desert landscape in central Nevada, appearing as a prominent alkali or dry lake bed feature. Situated within the larger Monte Cristo Valley, the topography is defined by broad alluvial fans that descend from the surrounding ranges toward the flat's floor. A critical water source in this arid environment, Salt Marsh Spring is located along the western margin of the valley floor. The map also delineates the boundary between Mineral County and Esmeralda County, which cuts diagonally across the northern portion of the quadrangle. This 2014 survey documents a largely undeveloped corridor where the primary land use remains public land management, marked by the extensive Public Land Survey System grid that organizes this vast interior basin.
