1990 Map of San Emidio Desert North

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

The San Emidio Desert and the eastern slopes of the Fox Range define this high-desert region of Washoe County during the late twentieth century. This transition between desert basins and upland peaks is marked by a series of seasonal drainages, including Willow Creek, Coyote Creek, and Bull Basin Creek, which descend toward the arid flats. The map illustrates a landscape of extreme isolation, where human presence is indicated primarily by a Steel Tower Trans Line and a single Borrow Pit, emphasizing the area's remote character.
