1989 Map of Potts Well

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Monitor Valley defines the central geography of this high-desert landscape in central Nevada, situated between the uplift of the Toiyabe National Forest and the Grimes Hills. Compiled from photography and field checks in the late 1980s, the map provides a precise look at the arid valley floor, where seasonal drainage from Stoneberger Creek crosses the basin. Isolated water sources and human infrastructure are sparse, centered primarily on Potts Well and the nearby Monitor Well No 3, which served as critical points for ranching or transit in this open range. Small-scale industrial activity is evidenced by several Borrow Pits located near the southern boundary, likely used for local road maintenance or fill. The grid of section lines and townships underscores the administrative division of this public land, showing the intersection of the Toiyabe mountain front with the wide alluvial plains.
