About this map

Diamond Hills and the central depression of Sadler Basin define this Nevada landscape during the mid-1980s. This transitional period, captured in a provisional topographic survey, illustrates a remote high-desert environment where the eastern slopes of the range descend into Huntington Valley. The mapping of the Huntington Creek corridor provides a clear view of the drainage patterns essential to this arid region.

Signs of localized industry and land use are sparse but specific, including a Gravel Pit near the eastern boundary and the remote Brown Well. The map also serves as a record of administrative divisions, clearly marking the jurisdictional meeting point of Elko, Eureka, and White Pine counties. This intersection of topography and political boundaries offers a precise look at how these Great Basin landforms were managed and surveyed before the turn of the 21st century.
