Talk:White River (Nevada)

The article doesn't tell the whole story

This is an odd river. (The article does warn us that it's a "discontinuous" river.) On "The National Map," the channel passing close to Alamo is known as "Pahranagat Creek," and even further south, it becomes "Pahranagat Wash." So: it can only be said that the mouth of the White River is at the Muddy River, if you consider the White River, Pahranagat Creek, and Pahranagat Wash to be one and the same.

Still, I can't find any map that shows the White River as being connected to Pahranagat Creek. The National Map has the northern terminus of Pahranagat Creek here: http://viewer.nationalmap.gov/viewer/?p=default&b=base1&x=-12825714.738230098&y=4510569.77610979&l=16

and the southern terminus of the White River about 11 miles away, here: http://viewer.nationalmap.gov/viewer/?p=default&b=base1&x=-12823261.139480405&y=4532601.256602221&l=19

Could the article be improved to make sense of all this? 71.219.223.170 (talk) 08:11, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
