2021 Map of Vigus Butte

About this map

Vigus Butte stands as a prominent elevation in this high-desert region of Lander County, overlooking the expansive drainage system of the Reese River. The landscape is characterized by the river's seasonal flow and the smaller drainage of Italian Cr to the north, which together define the hydrological character of the basin. The survey clearly delineates the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) grid, showing the boundaries between t20n r43e, t20n r42e, t19n r42e, and t19n r43e. This network of section lines highlights the orderly division of the Nevada interior, providing a framework for understanding land tenure and topography in an area where water sources like the Reese River remain the primary geographical anchors for any historical or modern activity.
