2012 Map of North of Eureka

About this map

Diamond Valley serves as the central focal point of this Nevada survey, characterized by an orderly grid of roads that intersect the arid landscape. The northern reaches of the valley are defined by the Diamond Foothill and the prominent Black Pt, where the terrain begins its ascent away from the basin floor. This area shows a transition from the agricultural or residential potential of the valley floor—marked by named thoroughfares like Java 101 and Keg St—to the natural drainages that channel seasonal water from the heights. Key hydrological features such as Pedrioli Creek, Minoletti Creek, and Cottonwood Creek flow from the foothills toward the valley, while Slough Creek and Simpson Creek anchor the western portion of the quadrangle. The map captures a moment in the early 21st century when the systematic organization of the high desert was well-established, linked by routes like the Eureka-Thompsons road.
