2021 Map of Rye Patch Reservoir South

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Rye Patch Reservoir dominates this high-desert basin, where modern water management shapes the arid Pershing County landscape. The map details the southern reach of the reservoir and the adjacent Lower Pitt-Taylor Reservoir, showing how these impoundments fill the central Humboldt Valley. Along the eastern shore, Pitt-Taylor Cove and Poker Brown Beach provide specific landmarks within the larger hydrological system. To the west, the foothills of the Trinity Range rise sharply from the valley floor, while the eastern side is defined by a corridor of infrastructure including N Frontage Rd and the settlement of Humboldt. This modern survey records the interaction between the seasonal flows of Humboldt Cr and the engineered reservoirs that sustain this portion of the Great Basin.
