2021 Map of Tumbleweed Flat

About this map

Crescent Valley spans the southern portion of this high-desert landscape in Eureka County, where the terrain transitions from the alluvial fans of Tumbleweed Flat into the rising elevations of the Dry Hills. The area is defined by its drainage patterns, with Thomas Cr and Sod House Cr flowing across the basin floor, illustrating the sparse but vital water networks that shape the Great Basin's topography. This modern survey, compiled from data ranging from 1980 through 2021, reflects the enduring character of the Nevada desert. It provides a precise look at the township and range boundaries that organize this open country, capturing a moment in time where the isolation of the landscape is preserved even as modern geospatial data offers new clarity on its remote features.
