2014 Map of Wieland Flat

About this map

Wieland Flat and the surrounding Elko County high country are defined by a complex network of seasonal and perennial watercourses that dictate the movement of people and livestock through this high desert terrain. The map details a landscape where China Spring serves as a critical water source among the drainages of Dorsey Cr and Willow Cr. This 2014 survey shows a region deeply tied to its hydrological patterns, with features like Tule Valley and Pie Cr illustrating how water shapes the geography of the Great Basin. Small-scale tributaries including Spring Br, Eagle Rock Cr, and McClellan Cr feed into larger basins, providing essential data for those studying the natural history and land management of these remote Nevada townships.
