2014 Map of Badger Hole Spring

About this map

Badger Hole Spring and Warm Spring anchor this high-desert landscape in eastern Nevada, where water sources dictate the patterns of human and animal life. The western edge of the quadrangle is defined by the boundary of the Humboldt National Forest, marking a transition toward the elevated terrain of the White River Range. The drainage network is dominated by the White River, which is joined by tributaries such as Ellison Creek and Cottonwood Creek. A network of forest and county routes, including Long Valley Road and NF-405, provides access to this secluded area of White Pine County. The topography is characterized by distinct landforms like The Cove, where the land rises sharply away from the riparian corridors. This modern survey reflects the continued importance of these isolated springs and watercourses in an otherwise arid environment.
