2021 Map of Mustang Well

About this map

Lake Valley dominates this high-desert landscape in eastern Nevada, characterized by an extensive network of wetlands and intermittent watercourses typical of the Great Basin's endorheic drainage systems. The map illustrates the hydrological patterns of the region, where Wilson Cr flows toward the valley floor, feeding into a broad area of seasonally variable wetlands. This 2021 study by the U.S. Geological Survey reveals a landscape defined more by natural topography and water resource management than by dense settlement. Human activity is largely represented by the presence of Lake Valley Acres Rd in the southern portion of the quadrangle, suggesting the encroaching rural development or ranch access that exists alongside traditional public land survey boundaries such as t7n r66e.
