2015 Map of Lay Waterhole

About this map

Lay Waterhole serves as a critical point of reference within the arid expanse of Desert Valley in Humboldt County. This portion of the Great Basin is characterized by its sparse hydrologic features and the broad, open terrain of the valley floor. The map records a landscape defined by its township and range grid, including t37n r34e, which organizes this remote section of northern Nevada. Given the scarcity of named features, the presence of a specific watering point like the waterhole suggests its historical importance for livestock or travelers crossing these high-desert flats. The geography here is largely undisturbed, showing the natural drainage patterns and topographical contours that shape the basin's floor before rising toward distant ridges.
