2011 Map of Presnel Well

About this map

Desert Valley in Humboldt County defines the expansive, open character of this 2011 survey. The landscape is marked by the presence of Presnel Well, a critical water point in an otherwise arid environment. Human activity is represented by a sparse network of roads and trails, most notably Sod House Rd, which cuts through the northeastern portion of the quadrangle. This map reflects the quiet, rural infrastructure of northern Nevada, where naming conventions often center on essential water sources and the descriptive qualities of the vast Great Basin terrain.
