2018 Map of Watts

About this map

The Fish Creek Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in central Nevada, carving out distinct geological depressions like Horseshoe Basin and Fish Creek Basin. This area is characterized by vast drainage patterns where seasonal waters such as Fish Cr descend from the peaks toward the eastern valley floor. To the south, the whimsical naming of the Valley of the Moon contrasts with the functional utility of Fish Creek Rd, which serves as a primary access point through the basin. The eastern edge of the quadrangle is defined by the Reese River, a vital watercourse in this arid region that historically influenced travel and land use. The map illustrates a stark, open terrain where township boundaries and sections provide the only formal structure across the expansive mountain and valley topography.
