About this map

White River Valley occupies the heart of this landscape, where the seasonal flow of the White River creates a corridor of significance in the high desert of Nye County. The terrain is defined by the transition from the alluvial flats of the valley floor to the rising elevations of the surrounding mountains, punctuated by the marshy expanse of Murphy Meadows in the north. This area illustrates the critical relationship between intermittent water sources and land use in the Great Basin, where life and travel traditionally followed the drainage patterns.
