About this map

Winnemucca Lake dominates this mid-1960s landscape, occupying a broad basin on the border of Washoe and Pershing Counties. The eastern portion of the Pyramid Lake Indian Reservation extends into the dry lakebed, where an indefinite boundary marks the fluctuating shoreline. To the east, the Nightingale Mountains rise sharply, providing a dramatic contrast to the flat basin floor. Small-scale resource extraction is evident through scattered markers such as a Gravel Pit and isolated Prospect locations tucked into the foothills. Natural water sources like Goose Spring appear at the base of the mountains, while the rugged topography of Stonehouse Canyon and the prominent Needle Rock provide clear navigational landmarks for those traversing this desert environment. A simple network of Jeep Trails provides the primary access through the higher elevations.
