1986 Map of Parran

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

The Forty Mile Desert and the arid basin of the Carson Sink dominate this mid-1980s survey of Churchill County. This harsh landscape was a critical corridor for early transcontinental travel, evidenced here by the Southern Pacific railroad line and a Historical Marker situated near the small settlement of Parran. The transition from the Hot Springs Mountains in the south to the White Plains in the north reveals a geography of extremes, where hydrology is defined by seasonal features like Alkali Flat and Humboldt Slough.
