2021 Map of Rye Patch Reservoir North

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Rye Patch Reservoir dominates this Pershing County landscape, where the storage of Humboldt River water transformed the arid Great Basin terrain. The map details the complex shoreline of the reservoir, including the inlets of Majuba Bay and the interconnected system of the Upper Pitt-Taylor Reservoir and Lower Pitt-Taylor Reservoir to the south. Historically significant sites like Lassens Meadows along the river's path offer a connection to the emigrant trails that once navigated the Humboldt Valley. Rising to the northeast, the foothills of the Eugene Mountains provide a stark vertical contrast to the expansive marshlands and seasonal wetlands captured at the edge of the water. This 2021 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the modern configuration of these critical Nevada water resources and the surrounding desert basin.
