1986 Map of Yelland Dry Lake

About this map

Yelland Dry Lake Depression dominates this high-altitude basin in eastern Nevada, where intermittent drainage patterns reveal a landscape defined by seasonal water. Numerous creeks, including Mc Coy Creek, O'Toole Creek, and Stephens Creek, descend from the surrounding highlands toward the flat basin floor, though many disappear into the desert before reaching the center. The small settlement of Stephens sits at the base of the western slopes, serving as a rare point of habitation in this arid expanse.
