About this map

Fish Creek Mountains dominate the northern terrain of this Central Nevada landscape, where the high desert peaks give way to the broad alluvial plains of Antelope Valley. The mapping, based on 1950s aerial photography and updated through the late 1980s, reveals a sparse but functional ranching environment. The Cottonwood Ranch serves as a primary point of human activity, situated near the seasonal drainage of Cottonwood Creek. To the east, the Reese River Valley and Cain Creek provide the geographic structure for this arid region. The presence of numerous labeled wells and a Waste Dump indicates the intersection of resource management and local utility in a remote Lander County setting. The transition from the rugged Cottonwood Basin to the valley floors illustrates the classic Great Basin topography of the late twentieth century.
