2021 Map of Wieland Flat

About this map

Wieland Flat and the surrounding Elko County landscape are defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and high-desert basins. This 2021 digital revision shows a terrain carved by McClellan Cr, Dorsey Cr, and Willow Cr, which converge toward the Valley of the North Fork. The drainage patterns here suggest a reliance on ephemeral water sources, with China Spring serving as a notable point of interest in the Tule Valley region. Historically significant infrastructure is sparse, though Coal Mine Rd provides the primary access route through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. The map captures the persistence of traditional land management boundaries, marked by the intersection of several townships including t39n r54e and t38n r55e, illustrating the continued use of the Public Land Survey System in organizing this remote Nevada territory.
