2014 Map of Reveille SE

About this map

The Reveille Range dominates the western topography of this Nye County landscape, where steep slopes descend into the high desert basin. This 2014 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the intersection of public land management and arid-land hydrology. The presence of the Eastside Reservoir in the eastern flats provides a critical water source in a region defined by its sparse resources and vast, open ranges. Navigation through this territory is facilitated by state route 375, known locally as the Extraterrestrial Highway, which cuts a nearly straight line across the valley floor. Secondary access is provided by unpaved tracks like Nf-415, reflecting the area's use for ranching and recreation within the expansive Public Land Survey System grids of t3n r52e and t2n r53e.
