2012 Map of Lees Camp

About this map

Lees Camp stands as a focal point in this high-desert landscape along the California-Nevada border. The terrain is defined by dry washes and the prominent rise of Sand Hill Peak in the northeastern corner of the quadrangle. This 2012 survey, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, uses high-resolution imagery and hydrography data to map the sparse drainage patterns that characterize this arid region. The presence of few named settlements highlights the area's isolation and its reliance on specific locales like Lees Camp for human activity and geographic orientation. For those studying the borderlands of Nye County, the map provides a clear view of the topographical contours and intermittent waterways that dictate movement through the basin.
