About this map

Great Basin National Park and the high elevations of the Snake Range anchor this 2018 survey of the high desert terrain in White Pine County. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, where intermittent and perennial flows like Lehman Cr, Strawberry Cr, and Baker Cr descend from the mountains toward the valley floor. Human activity is concentrated along the arterial access of Lehman Caves Rd and a network of named ranch and county routes, including Rowland Ranch Rd and Home Farm Rd.

Resource management and water infrastructure are evident through the Silver Creek Reservoir and the presence of the Humboldt National Forest. For those studying the rural infrastructure of eastern Nevada, the map identifies local landmarks such as the Silver Creek Airport and various springs like Bone Spring, which are critical markers in this arid environment. The map also delineates the Red Hills and several canyons, including Burnt Mill Canyon, providing a detailed look at the geographical transition between protected parklands and agricultural ranching areas.
