2014 Map of Brown Summit SW

About this map

Big Sand Springs Valley dominates the topography of this remote Nevada landscape, characterized by the drainage patterns of the Sand Springs Wash. The wash cuts vertically across the terrain, serving as the primary geographic corridor through this arid basin. On the western edge of the quadrangle, White Rock Spring appears as a localized water source at the base of the rising mountain slopes, a critical landmark in a region defined by its scarcity of surface water. The map provides a detailed view of the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) grid, documenting the boundaries of townships t12n r53e, t12n r54e, t11n r53e, and t11n r54e in Nye County. This survey reflects the modern, undeveloped state of the high desert before any significant 21st-century infrastructure changed the area.
