About this map

Sand Springs Wash carves a long, linear path through this high-desert portion of Nye County, serving as the dominant drainage feature across a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes. The terrain rises sharply towards the western edge of the quadrangle, with prominent ridges and alluvial fans characteristic of the Great Basin region. This 2021 topographic record reveals the sparse, wide-open character of the area, where the vast majority of the land is managed through the Public Land Survey System as indicated by the grid of township and range lines. The lack of modern residential development or improved roads suggests a landscape largely used for grazing, resource management, or conservation, typical of the remote interior of southern Nevada.
