2021 Map of Boone Spring

About this map

The Pequop Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in northeastern Nevada, where water remains the primary driver of movement and utility. The central drainage of Boone Canyon and the surrounding Coyote Basin are punctuated by critical water sources like Boone Spring and Lower Boone Spring. These springs are connected by a network of Bureau of Land Management routes, including BLM RD 1023 and BLM RD 1038, which trace the contours of the high terrain and provide access through the Pequop Spruce Mountain Pass. Seasonal drainages such as Shingle Run and Cole Cr underscore the intermittent nature of the hydrography in this cattle-grazing and mining-adjacent region, illustrating the importance of permanent springs for any human or livestock activity in the basin.
