About this map

Reese River Valley dominates this high-desert landscape in central Nevada, where water management defines the human footprint. The map captures an environment of technical engineering in a dry basin, featuring an Aqueduct, several water management structures like the Ditch and Dike, and numerous groundwater sources including Dillon Well. These features point to the critical role of irrigation and water control in sustaining ranching or industrial activity in the valley floor.

Evidence of the area's industrial and transport history is visible in the Old Railroad Grade cutting across the terrain, indicating former connectivity that once supported local operations. Near the base of the mountains, resource extraction is noted by a Shaft and several Gravel Pits concentrated near Mill Creek and Trout Creek. These labels suggest a landscape shifting from its natural state toward one shaped by small-scale mining and resource development at the close of the 1980s.
