2018 Map of McCoy NW

About this map

The Fish Creek Mountains dominate the southern half of this Lander County landscape, their steep relief defined by dense contouring that rises sharply from the surrounding basins. This 2018 survey documents a remote portion of the Great Basin where drainage is defined by the ephemeral Rock Cr and Willow Cr. To the northwest, the terrain levels into the broad expanse of Buffalo Valley, a classic example of Nevada's basin-and-range topography. In the northeast, the presence of the Copper Basin suggests the region's long-standing connection to mineral exploration. The map provides a precise view of public land survey boundaries, including t30n r42e and t29n r43e, which are essential for locating specific historical mining claims or ranching allotments in this sparsely populated region.
