2014 Map of Neels

About this map

Neels serves as the primary landmark in this section of the Great Basin, where the stark elevation of the Cricket Mountains meets the desert floor. The landscape is defined by its water management systems, including the Beaver River and a series of man-made basins such as Neels Reservoir Number 2 and the Beaver River Reservoir. These features suggest a history of managing intermittent flows to support the region's ranching or transit needs. Transportation is anchored by the north-south corridor of Highway 257 Rd, which runs parallel to the riverbed. Additional infrastructure like Headquarters Reservoir and AT T Road Reservoir indicates the strategic placement of resources across the dry terrain, while Pot Mountain Rd provides access to the higher ground of the northern townships.
