2018 Map of Bole Spring

About this map

Amargosa Desert and Mojave Desert converge along this high-desert boundary between Nye County, Nevada, and Inyo County, California. The landscape is defined by its critical water sources, which appear as a network of isolated springs and seeps across the arid basin. Near the northern boundary, Big Spring, Bole Spring, and Bramer Spring cluster together, while Last Chance Spring lies just to the south. The western edge of the map follows the low-lying Carson Slough, a stark contrast to the rising elevation of Shadow Mtn in the southeast. This 2018 survey illustrates a modern transportation network cutting through the ancient terrain, led by the Bob Ruud Memorial Hwy and Ash Meadows Rd, providing access to remote points like Grapeville Springs and the uniquely named Winters Holes.
