1982 Map of Lay Waterhole

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The arid expanses of Humboldt County are defined here by a vital network of water sources necessary for ranching and survival in the Great Basin. This 1982 survey illustrates a landscape dominated by internal drainage basins, including the extensive Alkali Flat and Alkali Flats that cover the southern reaches. Human presence is marked primarily by named water improvements, such as the Mormon Dan Well and the namesake Lay Waterhole. These features, often located miles apart, underscore the region's reliance on groundwater management for livestock in an environment where surface water is scarce. Individual landmarks like Lee Windmill and the Barbara Worth Well provide critical orientation points for those navigating the open range between the shifting sands of the Sand Dunes Well and the seasonal catchment at Hidden Playa Well.
