2012 Map of Buck Mountain East

About this map

Buck Pass serves as a central landmark in this high-elevation corner of White Pine County, where the desert landscape is defined by its vital water sources. The map documents a network of named springs that have historically sustained movement through this arid terrain. From Cottonwood Springs and Springtime Springs in the north to Beck Spring at the southern edge, these points mark the rare locations where moisture reaches the surface. The distribution of features like Woodchuck Spring, Little Willow Spring, and Rock Springs suggests a territory where survival and transit are dictated by the geography of the water table. This 2012 survey provides a precise look at these remote landmarks as they appeared in the early 21st century.
