2014 Map of Borchert Spring

About this map

Borchert Spring sits at the base of the Egan Range, marking a vital water source where the mountains meet the expansive Steptoe Valley. This corner of White Pine County is characterized by its high-altitude drainage systems, with Rabbit Creek flowing out of Rabbit Canyon and multiple seasonal streams like Antone Creek and Tehama Creek descending toward the valley floor. The landscape is structured by the historic Schellbourne Rd, a route that follows the natural contours of the basin, and Duck Creek, which meanders north through the flats. The map provides a detailed view of the Public Land Survey System grid, including t23n r63e and surrounding townships, which remains the primary framework for land ownership and grazing rights in this part of the Great Basin.
