About this map

Trap Spring Oil Field occupies the northern reaches of this landscape in eastern Nevada, reflecting the industrial character of the Great Basin's high desert. The terrain is defined by a series of aquatic features including Big Well Ponds and Lockes Ponds, which provide vital water sources in an otherwise arid expanse. These ponds, along with the infrastructure for extractive industry, illustrate the human presence in a remote part of Nye County where natural springs and oil resources are the primary drivers of activity. Transport through the region is anchored by the primary thoroughfare, labeled simply as 6, which connects these specialized sites across the basin floor.
