2018 Map of Bordwell Spring

About this map

Bordwell Spring and its surrounding drainage basin define the topography of this high-desert landscape in northwestern Nevada. The map documents a critical network of water sources essential for life in the Great Basin, including Twin Spring Reservoir, Rim-Rock Spring, and the distant Big Antelope Springs. Elevation changes are marked by distinct landforms such as Cherry Mtn and the Lost Creek Hills, with seasonal watercourses like Bordwell Cr and Compoodie Cr carving through deep ravines like Bordwell Canyon and Well Canyon. Man-made infrastructure is limited to the utility-focused Power Line Svc Rd and primitive routes like Wall Canyon Reservoir Rd, illustrating the remote nature of this region. The layout of Township and Range boundaries reflects the foundational Public Land Survey System that governs this expansive territory.
