About this map

Wellington and the agricultural lands of Smith Valley anchor this 2021 study of the Nevada landscape where the western desert meets the rising slopes of the Pine Nut Mountains. The map documents a complex network of water management essential to the high-desert basin, including the Plymouth Canal, Colony Ditch, and the winding West Walker River. Settlement is concentrated in the eastern valley, while the western portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the steep, canyon-cut terrain of the Toiyabe National Forest.

High points like Oreana Peak and Jack Wright Summit overlook numerous drainages such as Burbank Canyon and China Spring Canyon. Local aviation and infrastructure are represented by the Farias Wheel Airport and a grid of rural roads like Artesia Rd and Red Canyon Rd. This topographic record highlights the intersection of modern rural life with a landscape defined by significant geographic features like Eagle Mtn and Beaman Lakes.
