2012 Map of Box Spring

About this map

Dry Lake dominates the central basin of this Nye County desert landscape, reflecting a geological pattern of internal drainage characteristic of the Great Basin. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details a sparse network of forest roads and natural water sources essential for transit through this arid terrain. To the north, Box Spring serves as a critical named landmark near the junction of NFD 348 Rd and NFD 365 Rd. The surrounding topography is defined by significant drainage systems such as Willow Canyon and Mill Canyon, which feed toward the playa. Further east, the seasonal course of Wadsworth Creek illustrates the intermittent water flow that shapes the valley floor. The inclusion of Mill Canyon Rd indicates the primary corridors used for land management and exploration in this remote section of Nevada.
