2018 Map of Walker Lake

About this map

Walker Lake dominates the western half of this Nevada landscape, where the water meets the steep eastern slopes of the Gillis Range. The topography reveals the dramatic vertical rise of the basin, showing the complex drainage patterns and canyons that descend from the high peaks toward the shoreline. This area within Mineral County is characterized by large blocks of public land, organized under the Public Land Survey System as sections within t10n r30e, t9n r30e, and t9n r29e. The map illustrates the stark geography of the Great Basin, where the stark contrast between the deep lake and the arid mountainsides defines the local environment.
