Buena Vista Valley dominates this 1990 provisional survey, showcasing a landscape defined by the vast, dry expanse of the Alkali Flat. The map captures the transition from the level basin floor into the rising elevations of the Humboldt Range, where Woody Canyon cuts through the eastern slopes. As a provisional edition produced from 1950s aerial photography and 1980s field checks, it serves as a precise record of the topography and drainage patterns in this part of Pershing County. The absence of modern infrastructure underscores the area's isolation, with only basic unimproved routes and section lines for Township 29 North and 28 North providing a grid for orientation across the sagebrush and salt crust terrain.
