1968 Map of Snow Water Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Clover Valley dominates this high-desert landscape in northeastern Nevada, where seasonal drainage and terminal basins dictate the geography. The prominent basin of Snow Water Lake sits at the center of the sheet, fed by several ephemeral watercourses including Wiseman Creek and Johnson Creek. The mapping reveals a land shaped by drainage patterns, with The Slough and Steele Creek winding through the northern sections near the base of Black Ridge. Human activity is sparse but evident along the corridor of Route 93, which cuts through the northwestern corner of the quadrangle near the Gravel Pit. The map is particularly useful for understanding the hydrologic history of the region before modern land-use changes, capturing the complex network of depressions and creeks like Warm Cr that define this interior drainage system.
