2014 Map of Soda Lake NW

About this map

The Hot Springs Mountains dominate the northwestern portion of this Churchill County landscape, characterized by high elevations and steep contour intervals. This desert terrain transitions into the expanse of the Fortymile Desert in the southeast, where the topography levels out into a region marked by numerous small depressions and scattered alkali flats. The grid system of the Public Land Survey System is clearly defined across several townships, including t21n r27e and t22n r28e, providing a precise framework for understanding land division in this arid part of Nevada. While the map is sparse of named settlements, the intricate contour lines and drainage patterns offer detailed insight into the geomorphology of the Great Basin during the early twenty-first century.
