2014 Map of Big Hard Pan
USGS Topo · Published 2014About this map
Spring Valley dominates this 2014 survey, a high-altitude basin characterized by ephemeral drainage patterns and distinct arid landforms. The map identifies the Big Hard Pan, an expansive dry lake bed or playa that serves as a focal point for the region's topography. Water features are seasonal and highly localized, including Dust Bowl Lake near the western edge and several intermittent streams like Spring Valley Cr, Meadow Cr, and Muncy Cr. The landscape is largely defined by these hydrological markers and the remote CR-37 corridor, illustrating the basin's sparse settlement and its reliance on natural landmarks for navigation in the eastern Nevada desert.
