1990 Map of Blue Eagle Springs NE

About this map

Munson sits at the intersection of water and industry on this 1990 provisional survey of Nye County. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Duckwater Creek and Currant Creek, which traverse an arid environment marked by Alkali Flat. Human activity here centers on resource extraction and water management, evidenced by numerous Oil Wells, industrial Tanks, and Gravel Pits scattered near the basin floors. The reliance on subterranean water sources is clear, with features like Flowing Well and the specifically noted Gravel Ridge Well (Flowing) serving as vital points in the desert. Numerous Drill Holes throughout the quadrangle suggest a period of active exploration or geological testing during the late twentieth century, while The Big Wash provides a natural landmark within the basin's eastern drainage.
