About this map

The high-elevation landscape of Manhattan Mtn and Ravenswood Peak dominates this part of Lander County, Nevada. The settlement of Ravenswood is positioned at the western base of these peaks, marking a focal point for local history and land use in the high desert. To the east, the Reese River flows through a valley defined by significant riparian landmarks like Duffy Meadows.

Hydrological features are critical markers in this arid environment, with Steiner Spring, Meadow Spring, and Bradley Spring providing vital water sources scattered across the slopes. The topography is further etched by drainage systems such as Bernd Canyon, which cuts through the rugged interior. This survey captures the essential relationship between reliable water sources and the sparsely populated desert terrain of central Nevada.
