2021 Map of Lone Rock SE

About this map

Carson Sink dominates the topography of this portion of Churchill County, representing the terminus of the Carson River system. This 2021 topographic survey illustrates the stark, low-lying expanse of the terminal lake bed, where elevations shift subtly across the basin floor. The eastern edge of the quadrangle rises toward the foothills where Mill Canyon emerges as a distinct drainage feature. Surveyed using modern data from the National Hydrography Dataset and National Elevation Dataset, the map captures the hydraulic character of this arid interior drainage basin. The Public Land Survey System grid, including townships t23n r32e, t23n r33e, t22n r32e, and t22n r33e, provides the primary reference for land divisions across this uninhabited landscape.
