2018 Map of Barrel Springs

About this map

Barrel Springs and the surrounding high-desert terrain define this remote boundary region where the high plains of Oregon meet the northern stretches of Nevada. This survey illustrates a landscape primarily shaped by seasonal water sources and intermittent drainages like Horse Cr and Twentymile Cr. The high-altitude basin character is evident through features such as Twin Lakes and Coleman Spring, which likely served as vital landmarks for early travel and livestock grazing. The only significant thoroughfare, Barrel Springs Rd, cuts across the southern portion of the quadrangle, linking the sparse hydrology of the area. This map provides a detailed view of the tri-county intersection involving Lake Co, Oregon, and Washoe Co, Nevada, documenting the precise administrative boundaries and township grids used to manage this expansive public land.
