1972 Map of Leonard Cr. Slough South

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Black Rock Desert defines the landscape of this 1970s survey, showing a vast arid expanse where water is transient and precious. The Quinn River meanders through the desert floor, its channel flanked by the Leonard Creek Slough and Jackson Creek Slough. These drainage features represent the vital hydrological network of northern Nevada, where seasonal flows dictate the movement of water across the alkaline flats. The map documents the precise topography of the desert basin, recording the subtle shifts in elevation that guide these intermittent waterways through Humboldt County. It serves as a detailed record of this unpopulated region, highlighting the natural watercourses that have historically supported ranching and migration in the Great Basin.
