2021 Map of Borchert Spring

About this map

Steptoe Valley forms the central character of this Eastern Nevada landscape, where the flat valley floor meets the rising peaks of the Egan Range. The map documents a classic Great Basin drainage pattern, defined by seasonal water sources and intermittent streams such as Duck Cr and Antone Cr. The namesake Borchert Spring is situated near the mouth of Rabbit Canyon, a critical focal point for water in an otherwise arid environment. Human presence is marked primarily by rural transit corridors like White Pine Co Road 18 and White Pine Co Road 27, which trace the valley margins. This survey provides a precise modern record of the township and range boundaries that have governed land use in White Pine County since the nineteenth century, including sections within t23n r63e and t22n r64e.
