2011 Map of Mount Airy Mesa

About this map

Mount Airy Mesa stands as the primary landmark in this Nevada landscape at the start of the 2010s. The topography is defined by the drainage network of Antelope Creek, which winds from the southwest toward the northeast across a terrain of high-altitude basin and range. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures a sparsely developed portion of Lander County, where the emphasis remains on the natural drainage patterns and the elevation changes surrounding the mesa. The map illustrates how seasonal water flow from Antelope Creek has carved the landscape, providing a technical look at the physical geography of the Great Basin during this era.
