About this map

The Black Rock Desert dominates this northern Nevada landscape, revealing a complex hydrological system where the Quinn River and its various channels meet the alkaline basin. In the early 1990s, this area was documented in high detail, showing the subtle transition from the desert floor into the foothills of the Jackson Mountains. The drainage patterns are particularly intricate, with the Jackson Creek Slough and Jackson Creek winding toward ephemeral catchments like Dry Lake. This survey provides essential data for those tracing the shifting geography of the Great Basin, noting specific landmarks such as Red Butte and the survey point at Buckbrush. The map's contour lines and watercourse data illustrate how seasonal water flow defines the character of this remote Humboldt County terrain.
