2018 Map of Black Spring NW

About this map

Ione Valley dominates this high-desert basin in Nye County, showing a landscape defined by seasonal watercourses and the stark rise of the Shoshone Mountains to the east. At the northern edge of the valley, the drainages of Ione Wash and Cottonwood Cr illustrate the drainage patterns typical of this portion of the Great Basin. The northeastern corner of the map covers a section of the Toiyabe National Forest, where the terrain transitions into the steep elevations of Indian Canyon. Evidence of land use is centered around the Cloverdale Ranch area, reflecting the long-standing ranching traditions in this part of Nevada. This 2018 survey provides an exact look at the property lines and natural landmarks within the township and range grids of T10N R38E and T9N R38E.
