About this map

The Schurz settlement serves as the primary focal point in this high-desert landscape where the Walker River feeds into the Weber Reservoir. This 2015 U.S. Geological Survey representation captures the vital importance of water management in the Great Basin, anchored by the Weber Dam which regulates flow through the Walker River Valley. The surrounding terrain is defined by dramatic elevation shifts, from the prominent Painted Mesa in the north to the Terrill Mountains and Calico Hills that frame the valley floors.

Transportation through the region is marked by a mix of established routes like Julian Ln and service roads such as Little Dam Rd. The map also delineates clear administrative boundaries where Lyon County meets Mineral and Churchill counties, cutting across the natural features of Long Valley. This modern topo sheet provides a clear view of how irrigation infrastructure and natural topography dictate the footprint of human habitation in this part of Nevada.
