2011 Map of King Lear Peak NW
USGS Topo · Published 2011About this map
Black Rock Desert dominates this arid landscape in northwestern Nevada, where the drainage patterns of the Quinn River and the braided channels of Jackson Creek Slough illustrate the complex hydrology of the high desert basin. The map reveals the stark transition between the flat alkaline playa and the rising foothills of the Jackson Mountains to the southeast. Human presence is minimal in this 2011 survey, marked primarily by Jackson Creek Ranch Rd and the opening of Red Butte Canyon. This sheet is particularly useful for understanding the exact watercourses of the Jackson-Creek Slough as they interact with the desert floor, providing a precise record of the regional geography before seasonal or long-term shifts in the river's path.
