About this map

Adaven sits at the southern reach of this Nye County landscape, where the high desert terrain transitions through a series of canyons and seasonal washes. The settlement is linked to the surrounding wilderness via the Natl Forest Develop Road 410 Rd, which traces a path through the drainages of Cherry Cr and past the Cherry Creek Forest Service Facility. This area is defined by its water sources, essential for ranching and forestry operations, including Burnt Canyon Spring and Horse Spring.

To the north, Cherry Creek Summit marks a significant high point near Sawmill Canyon, overlooking a network of creeks such as Bruno Cr and Spring Cr. The inclusion of the Uhalde Ranch near the southern border illustrates the continuing importance of private holdings and seasonal grazing lands in this part of the Great Basin. The intricate drainage patterns of Ox Spring Wash and Bordoli Cr reveal the complex topography that dictates travel and land use in this Nevada interior.
