2011 Map of Allen Springs

About this map

Allen Springs and the surrounding desert landscape of Churchill County define this 2011 survey, where water sources are the primary landmarks for navigation. The presence of hydrothermal activity is noted at Lee Hot Springs, while the unappealingly named Stinking Springs sits to the south, highlighting the varied mineral content of the local water table. To the east, the extensive topography of the Blow Sand Mountains dominates the horizon, shaped by aeolian processes. This modern topographical study captures a remote portion of Nevada where travel is funneled through natural corridors like Russell Pass and across seasonal drainages such as Diamond Field Jack Wash. The map reflects a landscape where geological and hydrological features remain the most significant identifiers in an area largely devoid of dense human settlement.
