About this map

Buckbrush Spring is a critical water source located in the high desert of Nevada, situated near the boundary where Lyon and Mineral counties meet. This area is characterized by the prominent Gray Hills and the slopes of the Wassuk Range, which dominate the eastern portion of the landscape. The reliance on isolated water points in this arid region is evident through the identification of Buck Brush Spring, Summit Spring, and Abraham Spring, each serving as vital markers for travelers and livestock alike.

Transport through this part of the Great Basin is facilitated by a few primary routes, including Reese River Rd in the north and E Walker Rd along the southern edge. The terrain includes geographic features such as Pumpkin Hollow, reflecting a landscape primarily defined by topography and essential springs rather than permanent settlements. This survey provides a clear view of the natural drainage and elevation patterns across the townships of the T11N and T12N ranges.
