2014 Map of Walker Lake

About this map

Walker Lake dominates the western half of this Nevada landscape, appearing here as it was surveyed in the early 21st century. The map illustrates the stark transition from the deep blue expanse of the lake to the rising elevations of the Gillis Range to the east. The terrain is marked by the distinctive topography of the Great Basin, where steep contours define the ridges and canyons of the range. The administrative geography is recorded through the Public Land Survey System boundaries of Walker Lake R29E, t10n r30e, and t9n r30e, providing a precise framework for researchers and land historians studying this portion of Mineral County.
