2018 Map of Blossom Spring

About this map

The Reese River meanders northward through this high desert basin, defining a landscape marked by intermittent water sources and the grid-work of rural expansion. The namesake Blossom Spring emerges near a prominent outcropping in the northwest, providing a vital anchor in an otherwise arid terrain. While much of the land remains divided by the Public Land Survey System, the northeastern corner reveals the structured growth of the region with the Battle Mountain Airport and a network of roads named after historical figures such as Thomas Jefferson and Madison. Transportation corridors like Old 8a Rd and Muleshoe Rd trace the path of local commerce and connectivity across the valley floor. Small tributaries including Little Cottonwood Cr and Lewis Cr feed into the main river channel, supporting the scattered vegetation and agricultural potential of the Lander County interior during the early 21st century.
