About this map

The Reese River defines the central valley of this Nevada landscape, flowing northward between the highlands of the Toiyabe National Forest. This 2018 survey captures a remote section of the Great Basin where the border between Lander Co and Nye Co cuts across the southern reach of the valley. The terrain is marked by significant drainages and landmarks like Reese River Butte, with water sourced from mountain corridors such as Cottonwood Canyon and Elkhorn Canyon.

Evidence of the region's ranching and transit history is preserved in the network of established paths like Reese River Rd and Ione Rd. Tributaries such as Washington Creek and San Pedro Cr flow from the steeper eastern elevations into the alluvial plains. This map is essential for tracing the hydraulic patterns and land boundaries in a corner of Nevada where names like Devils Gate Canyon reflect the character of the early frontier.
