2018 Map of Preston Reservoir

About this map

White River Valley defines the landscape of this Nevada survey, showing a complex drainage network where Jakes Wash and Giroux Wash converge. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the Preston Reservoir serves as a critical point of water management for the arid terrain. To the northeast, the land rises toward the high ground of the Humboldt National Forest, where Dark Peak stands as a prominent landmark. This 2018 U.S. Geological Survey record captures the intersection of natural watercourses like Holt Cr and Rowe Cr with modern infrastructure, including Natl Forest Develop Road 617 Rd, illustrating the transition from the valley floor to the protected forest uplands.
