1990 Map of North of Eureka

About this map

Diamond Valley dominates this 1990 provisional survey of central Nevada, where the flat valley floor meets the rising slopes of the Diamond Mountains. This high-desert landscape is characterized by intermittent drainage patterns, with several named waterways such as Pedrioli Creek, Minoletti Creek, Cottonwood Creek, and Slough Creek flowing from the eastern heights toward the valley center. The map reflects a region defined by agricultural and industrial efforts, marked by numerous wells and a scattered Gravel Pit. The eastern edge is defined by steep elevation changes, particularly around Green Canyon, illustrating the transition from the alluvial fans of the valley to the rugged mountain range. These features point to the importance of water management and resource extraction in this part of Eureka County during the late twentieth century.
