2011 Map of Betty Creek

About this map

Betty Creek flows through this high-desert region of Pershing County, where the landscape is defined by its scarce but vital water sources. This 2011 survey documents a network of intermittent drainages and isolated springs that have long dictated movement through this arid terrain. Essential landmarks for navigation and survival are clearly marked, including Desert Spring to the north and Lookout Spring near the mouth of Deer Canyon. To the south, the drainage of Missouri Creek is anchored by Redwood Spring, providing a clear record of the hydrologic features that remain the primary focal points of the territory. The map illustrates a largely undeveloped expanse, where local travel is facilitated by established 4WD routes and pack trails following the natural contours of the northern Great Basin.
