1990 Map of Blue Eagle Springs

About this map

Blue Eagle Springs serves as a vital water source in this arid portion of Railroad Valley, where the landscape is defined by vast basin floors and intricate hydrologic features. The map illustrates a concentration of desert springs along the eastern edge of the valley, including Kate Spring, Soda Spring, and Butterfield Springs. These water points contrast sharply with the expansive Alkali Flat and Bacon Flat to the north and south. Human activity in the area is focused on resource extraction and conservation, evidenced by the presence of a Refinery and numerous Gravel Pits, alongside the protected territory of the Railroad Valley Wildlife Management Area. The network of unimproved roads and numerous drill holes suggests an era of active exploration for minerals or water across this remote basin-and-range terrain.
