2011 Map of Manhattan Mountain NW

About this map

The Reese River winds through this arid portion of Lander County, providing a critical perennial water source in a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes. The 2011 survey reveals a territory where the riparian corridor of the river and small water points like Willow Creek Spring dictate the patterns of movement and land use. State Route 305 serves as the primary artery through the valley, following the natural contours of the basin. The high-desert environment shown here is characterized by its isolation, with the infrastructure limited to a sparse network of local roads and 4WD tracks that branch off into the surrounding foothills of the Toiyabe and Shoshone ranges.
