1985 Map of Water Gap West

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Garden Valley dominates this high-desert basin in southeastern Nevada, where the drainage patterns of Cherry Creek, Sand Creek, and Pine Creek converge. The landscape is defined by the sharp verticality of the Golden Gate Range to the east, contrasting with the wide alluvial floor of the valley. A unique human mark on this isolated terrain is the mention of a Sculpture near an unpaved Landing Strip, indicating an intersection of modern land art or remote installation within the traditional rangeland. The map also records the boundary between Nye and Lincoln Counties as it cuts across the southern portion of the valley. This 1980s field check captures a period of minimal infrastructure, primarily characterized by a network of seasonal watercourses and primitive tracks through the sagebrush.
