2021 Map of Betty Creek

About this map

Selenite Range dominates the western half of this Nevada landscape, where its steep ridges and canyons transition into the broad, open basin of the Kumiva Valley. This arid terrain is defined by its vital water sources, including the secluded Lookout Spring and Redwood Spring, which served as critical landmarks for travelers and surveyors navigating the Pershing County desert. The drainage system reveals a distinct eastward flow toward the valley floor, with ephemeral waters like Little Meadow Cr and Betty Cr cutting through the complex topography. The absence of modern development highlights the primitive nature of the terrain, where Missouri Cr and Desert Spring remain some of the few named landmarks in a region largely defined by its natural landforms and early township and range survey lines.
