2018 Map of Teels Marsh

About this map

Marietta sits at the northern edge of this arid landscape in Mineral County, overlooking the expansive basin of Teels Marsh. This high-desert region is defined by its seasonal water sources and the transition from the salt flats of the marsh to the rising slopes of the Excelsior Mountains in the northeast. Small, scattered water points like German Spring, Company Spring, and Rock House Spring provide critical landmarks across the township lines. The area is intersected by a network of functional tracks, including Garfield Flat Rd and the evocatively named Rattle Snake Gulch Rd. These roads suggest a long-standing history of mining or ranching access, characteristic of this part of Nevada where water and elevation determine the pattern of human movement and settlement.
