2011 Map of Leonard Creek Slough North

About this map

The expansive drainage systems of the Black Rock Desert dominate this northern Nevada landscape, where seasonal watercourses define the geography. Leonard Creek and Sentinel Creek carve intricate braided paths through the basin, illustrating the complex hydrology of Humboldt County. The map details the managed water of the Montero Reservoir in the northeast, a vital landmark in an otherwise arid region. Grounded by the presence of Leonard Creek Rd, this survey reveals a place of sparse human infrastructure, focusing instead on the vast natural alluvial fans and the remote western reaches of the desert floor where Bartlett Creek enters from the southwest.
