2018 Map of Mud Lake NW

About this map

The Klondyke Hills and Southern Klondyke Hills dominate this section of the Great Basin on the border of Esmeralda and Nye counties. This arid landscape is defined by its topographic extremes, from the heights of Gold Mtn down to the sweeping expanse of the Ralston Desert. The map documents a sparsely populated region where isolated landmarks like Gold Reef Spring and the small settlement of Divide serve as critical points of reference. The layout of the land is heavily influenced by the Public Land Survey System, with township boundaries such as t2n r42e and t1n r43e creating a rigid grid across the undulating basin and range terrain. This 2018 survey provides a precise view of the geographic intersections and traditional desert naming conventions that have persisted in this part of Nevada for generations.
