2012 Map of Bean Flat East

About this map

Bean Flat and Grubb Flat define the broad, arid geography of this Eureka County landscape during the early 21st century. The map reveals a reliance on scattered water sources across the high desert, evidenced by a series of named springs including Woods Spring One, Woods Spring Two, and Woods Spring Three. These vital points of interest, along with Warm Spring and Cold Spring to the east, suggest the historical importance of water for livestock and travel in a region where surface water is otherwise sparse, save for Coils Creek. Human infrastructure is minimal, represented primarily by the linear path of 3 Bars Rd, which cuts through the sagebrush and scrub, connecting these isolated desert flats to the wider world.
