Which is more reliable method for a sailor to determine noth by using the star Polaris or reading afoad map?

A map doesn't tell you which way is north, it tells you which direction to go to get somewhere assuming you already KNOW which way is north... so it's not really an option except in special cases (for example, if a map shows two landmarks that are visible from the sailor's current position, he can use that to determine both where he is on the map and which direction is north).

Which maps of Nevada would you recommend to move around in this state using geological features for orientation in the desert?

I would either use a world atlas or some sort of geological map. They will allow you to pinpoint areas of the map with ease, allowing you to orientate the map to your needs. However the majority of most deserts of Nevada are flat from winds that spread out the area of it. They span over a large area of the map that also crosses the California state line
