About this map

Amargosa Desert and Mojave Desert terrain meet along the Nevada and California border in this detailed topographic record. The landscape is defined by the vital presence of water sources in an arid environment, featuring a series of named desert oases such as Big Spring, Bole Spring, and Bramer Spring in the northern reaches. These springs, alongside Grapevine Springs and the curious Winters Holes, trace a history of human and animal movement through a challenging corridor where survival once depended on such specific, mapped locations.

Transportation through this borderland is centered on the diagonal route of Ash Meadows Rd, which parallels the state line near the drainage of Carson Slough. To the southeast, the terrain rises sharply toward Shadow Mtn, providing a stark contrast to the low-lying desert flats. The map serves as a contemporary guide to this sparsely populated but hydrologically significant region where Bob Ruud Memorial Hwy provides modern access to these ancient desert landmarks.
