2012 Map of West of Diamond Springs

About this map

Diamond Valley dominates this 2012 survey, illustrating the arid landscape of Eureka County at the beginning of the 21st century. The map centers on the drainage patterns and water sources critical to the Great Basin, including the perennial presence of Diamond Springs and the seasonal flow of Tafts Creek. The eastern margin is defined by a series of steep drainages, most notably Box Springs Canyon, Rock Canyon, and Willow Canyon, which transition from the higher terrain down into the valley floor.
