2014 Map of Sheep Creek Range SW

About this map

Sheep Creek Range dominates the western portion of this 2014 survey, displaying the characteristic north-south trending topography of central Nevada. The map captures a largely undeveloped landscape within the Great Basin, where dramatic elevation changes define the transition from high mountain peaks to the broad floor of Boulder Valley in the southeast. Significant landmarks like Black Mtn punctuate the ridgelines, while the seasonal course of Rock Cr cuts through the northern sections. This topographic study reflects the enduring isolation of this part of Lander County, where the land is primarily divided by the Public Land Survey System into townships like t34n r47e. The map serves as a detailed record of high-desert drainage patterns and terrain for researchers focused on the natural history or ranching boundaries of the region.
