2012 Map of The Wall SE

About this map

Butterfield Salt Beds anchor the southeastern corner of this arid landscape in Nye County, illustrating the stark hydrologic realities of the Nevada basin. The map reveals a sparse network of water sources essential for life and land use in this high-desert environment, most notably Abel Spring in the northwest and the engineered catchment of Fargy Well Reservoir Number Two. A faint web of local roads and 4WD tracks crisscrosses the terrain, converging near the reservoir and tracking along the braided wash systems that define the central valley. This 2012 survey provides a precise view of modern access points and water infrastructure in a region where such resources dictate the limits of human activity.
