2015 Map of Leonard Creek Slough South

About this map

The northern reaches of the Black Rock Desert dominate this 2015 landscape in Humboldt County, where the transition between arid playa and alluvial drainage systems is clearly defined. The Quinn River meanders through the central basin, joined by a network of seasonal watercourses including Leonard Creek and the intermittent Leonard Cr Slough. This region of Nevada is characterized by expansive public land management, depicted here through the township and range grid system of the Public Land Survey System, including t40n r29e and t39n r29e. The map illustrates the hydrological patterns of the high desert, where streams like Sentinel Cr and Jackson Cr Slough flow toward the sink of the desert floor, providing a vital record of the water resources in this sparsely populated Great Basin environment.
