About this map

Lake Valley (Depression) dominates this high-desert basin in eastern Nevada, captured here during a 1970 field check. This arid expanse is defined by intermittent drainage and specialized infrastructure designed to manage scarce water resources. The presence of Mustang Reservoir and Point of Rock Reservoir indicates the critical importance of surface storage for livestock or local wildlife in this environment.

A notable man-made feature on the landscape is the Aqueduct located near a Corral in the northeastern section of the quadrangle. These features, along with Boulder Wash, illustrate how the terrain has been adapted for ranching and water transit. The mapping by the U.S. Geological Survey reveals a landscape of gradual slopes and dry basins, where surveyors carefully noted benchmarks and section lines to organize this remote portion of Lincoln County.
