1972 Map of Leonard Cr. Slough North

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Black Rock Desert dominates the southern reaches of this 1970s landscape, where the arid basin floor meets the drainage systems of northern Humboldt County. The geography is defined by the seasonal flow of Leonard Creek and the intricate channels of Leonard Creek Slough, which trace the low-lying terrain. Human activity in this desert environment is marked by essential water management and resource extraction, including Montero Reservoir, scattered wells, and Gravel Pits. Higher elevations to the north provide a stark contrast to the flats, with Windy Point overlooking the vast expanse. This map reveals a landscape where life and movement are dictated by water sources like Bartlett Creek and various unnamed springs, illustrating the remote and specialized nature of high-desert ranching and travel in Nevada.
