About this map

Ravenswood and the high desert landscape of central Nevada are documented here, showing the stark transition from mountain peaks to the valley floor. The map tracks the winding course of the Reese River as it passes through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, where the terrain levels into Duffy Meadows. These water sources were vital in an arid region where life and travel were dictated by the availability of springs like Steiner Spring, Meadow Spring, and Bradley Spring.

The topography is dominated by Manhattan Mtn and Ravenswood Peak, which rise sharply above the surrounding flats. The inclusion of Bernd Canyon highlights the drainage patterns that define the western foothills. This survey provides a precise view of the land division in the early 21st century, detailing the township and range boundaries across the sparsely populated border between Lander and Nye counties.
