1979 Map of Powers Well

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Long Valley (Depression) dominates the western landscape of this Washoe County survey, characterized by a distinct topographic sink that transition eastward into the elevated terrain of Antelope Flat. The map documents a sparse, high-desert environment where water sources are vital but rare markers on the land. Key water points include Lone Juniper Spring and the Cold Weather Reservoir, essential infrastructure for the region's ranching or migratory needs. The presence of Powers Well and a isolated Windmill further emphasizes the reliance on groundwater in this arid territory. Human activity is represented by utilitarian infrastructure rather than permanent settlements, with the landscape crisscrossed by a Jeep Trail and a noted Borrow Pit. Detailed bench marks like BM 5686 and BM 5721 provide precise elevations for researchers studying the geomorphology of the Great Basin.
