About this map

The Oregon Nevada state line defines the northern boundary of this high desert landscape, where the high-altitude terrain of Guano Valley dominates the eastern portion of the quadrangle. Drainages like Rye Cr and Catnip Cr snake through the arid basins, tracing the hydrological patterns of the western Great Basin. This 2021 update from the U.S. Geological Survey details the rugged intersection of Lake Co and Washoe Co across the state boundary. The map illustrates a remote cattle-country landscape primarily defined by public land divisions and subtle watercourses that have shaped regional land use since the early surveying of the Nevada-Oregon borderlands. Researchers can trace the township and range lines across this sparsely populated section of the high desert plateau.
