2012 Map of Sheep Creek Range SE

About this map

Sheep Creek Range dominates the western edge of this Nevada landscape, where the high desert terrain transitions into the broad expanse of Boulder Valley. The drainage pattern is defined by the convergence of several significant watercourses, primarily Rock Creek and Boulder Creek, which carve through the arid basin. This 2012 U.S. Geological Survey representation highlights the sparse infrastructure of the region, anchored by the winding path of Rock Creek Rd. The map illustrates a classic Great Basin environment where seasonal hydrography and topographical relief dictate the movement through the valley, offering a precise look at the land before further modern development or changes in land use occurred.
