1972 Map of Leonard Cr. Slough North

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The expansive Black Rock Desert dominates this Nevada landscape, where the flat alkaline plains meet the rising drainages of the northern basin. Water management and resource extraction define the local geography, visible in the system of the Leonard Creek Slough and the isolated Montero Reservoir. Sparse infrastructure, including a remote Landing Strip and the Nera Well, reflects the era's focus on ranching and geological exploration in Humboldt County. Several seasonal watercourses like Sentinel Creek and Bartlett Creek cut through the terrain, while Gravel Pits indicate localized mining activity. This study is particularly valuable for understanding the distribution of water sources and survey markers in an arid, open territory where every well and spring represented a critical landmark.
