About this map

The Silver State Daveytown Valley dominates the western portion of this Great Basin landscape, characterized by expansive Alkali Flats and sparse desert drainage. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the Bloody Run Hills and the Bloody Run Range, creating a stark topographical boundary between the valley floor and the high ridgelines of the Santa Rosa Range. This 1982 provisional survey captures the intersection of several significant canyons, including the North Bucks Trail Canyon and Bucks Trail Canyon, which suggest historical movement through these steep corridors.

Water sources are vital and scarce markers here, with Sandbark Spring and Mud Spring providing essential points of interest for those tracing land use in Humboldt County. The map details the rugged drainage patterns of Tony Creek and Porcupine Creek as they descend from the eastern heights. The placement of Asa Moore Canyon and Long Canyon highlights the complex network of ravines that define the transition from the valley to the mountain peaks.
