2014 Map of Bateman Spring

About this map

The Shoshone Range dominates the eastern horizon of this Nevada landscape, where the high desert flats meet the rising slopes of Slaven Canyon. To the west, the infrastructure of Lander County is visible in the grid of the Battle Mountain Airport and a curious network of planned thoroughfares with names like Presidential Blvd and John Adams Ave. This 2014 survey reveals a transition from these organized grids to the open range, where water remains the primary driver of geography. Essential water sources such as Bateman Spring and drainages like Slaven Cr and Rock Cr are mapped alongside the small settlement of Rosny. These features highlight the contrast between modern aviation and transportation developments, like the busy corridor of Interstate 80, and the traditional dependence on natural springs in this arid environment.
