About this map

Barton Spring and the surrounding high-desert terrain of Lander County are documented here as they appeared in 2014. The landscape is defined by its vital water sources, including Ox Corral Spring, Box Spring, and Streshley Spring, which serve as critical anchor points in a region dominated by deep drainages like Vigus Canyon and Emigrant Canyon. These water features and natural corridors have long shaped human movement through the Great Basin.

A portion of the Toiyabe National Forest covers the southern half of the sheet, where seasonal drainages such as Barton Cr and Bade Cr descend from the ridges. Remote access is provided by unpaved routes like Grass Valley Rd and Italian Rd, tracing the paths between the canyons. This map offers a clear view of the complex topography near Simpson Park Canyon, where elevation changes and hydrologic patterns dictate the use of this rural Nevada territory.
