2011 Map of Mount Airy NE

About this map

Antelope Creek and Gilbert Creek drain this arid portion of Lander County, highlighting the drainage patterns of the Great Basin landscape. The map shows the north-eastern portion of the Mount Airy region, dominated by high-desert terrain including White Sage Flat and the adjacent White Sage Canyon. Human settlement is sparse, concentrated near the historic site of Ravenswood in the northeast corner of the quadrangle. Localized water sources, such as Cadro Spring, provide critical points of reference in an area otherwise defined by seasonal washes and varying elevations. The layout of early 21st-century unpaved roads and trails follows the natural contours of the desert, illustrating how topography dictates movement and land use in this remote Nevada corridor.
