2015 Map of Barrett Springs

About this map

Barrett Springs serves as a lone water point in the high desert landscape of Humboldt County, positioned between the rising terrain of the north and the valley floor. The geography is dominated by the wide expanse of the Silver State Valley, which transitions into the rolling elevations of the Krum Hills and Tenmile Hills to the south. In the northwest corner, the Crescent Dunes present a distinct geological feature, indicating active sand movement within this arid basin. This 2015 survey reveals the vast, open character of the Great Basin, where land is primarily organized by township and range lines across a mostly unpopulated terrain, with few developments aside from the essential water source that gives the area its name.
