About this map

Dewitt Mill and the rising slopes of Battle Mtn anchor the southern portion of this landscape, where the high desert terrain of the Humboldt and Lander County line meets a complex network of seasonal drainage. The hydrology of the region is defined by the Reese River and numerous canyons, including Piute Canyon and Poormans Gulch, which channel runoff from the peaks toward the valley floor.

Infrastructure in this part of Nevada is dominated by the corridor of Interstate 80, which cuts through the northern sections near the settlement of Piute. The map reveals a transition from industrial and mining sites, such as those along Little Giant Mill Cr, to the broader alluvial plains. This survey captures the essential intersection of modern transportation routes and the traditional mining landscape that has historically shaped this corner of the Great Basin.
