About this map

Grass Valley dominates the central floor of this high-desert landscape in central Nevada, framed to the southeast by the rising slopes of the Simpson Park Mountains. This modern topographical survey depicts a region defined by its seasonal hydrology, where several intermittent drainages such as Corral Canyon Cr and Cowboy Rest Cr descend from the surrounding highlands to the valley floor. The placement of Valley Spring and Fagin Springs indicates the vital importance of reliable water sources in this arid environment, often serving as critical points for livestock and land management.

Human presence is marked primarily by Grass Valley Rd, which provides the primary north-south transit corridor through the quadrangle. The map captures the systematic organization of the Public Land Survey System, with township and range lines like t23n r47e partitioning the open range. These boundaries, alongside features like Callaghan Cr and Indian Cr, offer a detailed look at the rural character of Lander County in the early twenty-first century.
