1980 Map of Bordwell Spring

About this map

Bordwell Spring and its adjacent Water Tanks define a critical water point in this high-desert region of Washoe County. The landscape is marked by a network of drainage systems, including Bordwell Canyon, Well Canyon, and Cockrell Canyon, which channel seasonal flows toward features like Campoodie Creek and Clover Creek. The presence of several named water sources such as Rim Rock Spring, Jims Creek Spring, and the Twin Spring Reservoir indicates the importance of reliable water for livestock and local wildlife.
