2018 Map of Baxter Spring

About this map

The high peaks of the Toquima Range dominate this portion of the Toyabe National Forest, where water is the primary driver of the map's geography. A series of natural water sources, including Indian Spring, Fitzpatrick Spring, and Spanish Spring, are scattered across the high country, suggesting the vital role these points played for early ranchers and travelers in this arid part of Nye County. To the southeast, the terrain softens into the open expanse of the Ralston Desert, where Hunts Cr provides a rare drainage route.
