River Maps: Great Basin

This map features the major watersheds of the Great Basin. None of them outlet to the sea, but instead end up in small lakes or just trickle off into nothing, often the result of being drained down to nothing for irrigation (or being diverted hundreds of miles away to permit Los Angeles to sustain a population far greater than its environment is capable of). The vast spaces between bothered me, visually, at first, but now I like how they give a sense of oases of population in the deserts.

This map features the following rivers, creeks, forks (etc.): Bear, Malad & Little Malad, Sevier, Beaver, San Pitch, Humboldt, Reese, Quinn, Truckee, Carson, Owens, Amargosa, Kern, Mojave, Whitewater, New.

10% of the profits I earn from the sale of prints will be donated to organizations that protect and restore some of the watersheds seen in this river map series.

Important: Zazzle, the company which does my prints, will let you shrink the map down from the original size if you ask, but I cannot guarantee it will look good if you do.
