2012 Map of Springdale SW

About this map

Sarcobatus Flat dominates this desert landscape in the northern Mojave region of Nye County. This 2012 survey captures a remote basin defined by its arid character and sparse human infrastructure. Crisscrossed by primitive roads and 4WD tracks, the area serves as a transit corridor within the vast basin-and-range topography typical of southern Nevada. The map details the drainage patterns and subtle elevation changes across the alkali flat, providing a clear record of the region's physical geography before more modern developments or land-use changes. It is an essential document for those studying the hydrology and isolation of the Great Basin's southern reaches.
