2011 Map of McCoy NW

About this map

Alkali Lake dominates the western portion of this high-desert landscape in Lander County, serving as a prominent terminal basin for the surrounding drainage systems. The hydrologic network is defined by several intermittent waterways, most notably Rock Creek, Willow Creek, and the Reese River, which thread through the basin. These watercourses and the dry lake bed illustrate the traditional drainage patterns of the Great Basin during the early 21st century. Infrastructure is sparse across this section of Nevada, primarily represented by a network of local roads and tracks including Co Rd 121, which provides access through the arid terrain. The map captures a moment in the region's recent history, documenting the land use and natural water features of this specific quadrangle as they existed in 2011.
