2021 Map of Snow Water Lake

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Clover Valley dominates this high-desert basin in eastern Nevada, centered on the ephemeral basin of Snow Water Lake. The landscape is defined by a seasonal drainage network that feeds the central lakebed from surrounding heights like Black Ridge, with water flowing through Johnson Cr, Honeyman Cr, and Steele Cr. Human adaptation to the arid environment is evidenced by the Tobar Reservoir to the northeast and the intermittent flow of The Slough. This modern survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the intricate wetland patterns of Snow Water Lake and the various tributaries including Wiseman Cr and Warm Cr that sustain the local ecosystem. The map detail reflects the characteristic basin-and-range hydrology where mountain runoff terminates in lowland flats.
