1986 Map of Yelland Dry Lake

About this map

Yelland Dry Lake Depression dominates this portion of eastern White Pine County, showing a complex network of ephemeral drainages and springs typical of the Great Basin's interior drainage systems. During the mid-1980s, this landscape was defined by its water sources, from the larger Taft Lake and Spring Valley Creek to specific points like South Millick Spring and North Millick Spring. A system of man-made features including a ditch, well, and corral suggests the area's use for livestock and grazing, while a Gravel Pit indicates local small-scale mineral extraction.
