1990 Map of Preston Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

White River Valley defines the landscape of this 1990 survey, where the arid plains of White Pine County meet the rising elevations of the Humboldt Nat For. The map centers on the Preston Reservoir, a vital water resource for the region, fed by the seasonal drainages of Jakes Wash and Giroux Wash. This area represents a classic Great Basin environment where ranching and resource extraction are primary activities, evidenced by several scattered Drill Hole sites and a Gravel Pit near the wash beds. At higher elevations, Dark Peak overlooks the valley floor, while infrastructure such as the Preston Seeding Windmill and Jakes Wash Well highlight the ongoing efforts to manage this dry terrain. The map also records early mining activity through various Prospect labels and a network of unimproved roads and transmission lines crossing the valley.
