2018 Map of McCleary Wells

About this map

The Owyhee Desert dominates the high-plateau landscape in this remote corner of northern Nevada. This 2018 survey documents a region defined by its isolation and the deep drainages of Wolf Cr and Milligan Cr, which cut through the arid terrain. The map serves as a detailed record of the Public Land Survey System divisions, clearly marking the boundaries of t43n r46e, t43n r47e, t42n r46e, and t42n r47e. Without towns or permanent settlements, the landscape is shaped by its hydrology, where intermittent stream beds provide the only relief in the vast desert expanse. Researchers of the Great Basin can use this data to understand contemporary land management and the primitive road networks that cross these high-altitude sections.
