2021 Map of Buckbrush Spring

About this map

The Wassuk Range and the rolling terrain of the Gray Hills dominate this high-desert landscape along the border of Lyon and Mineral Counties. This 2021 update records the sparse but vital water sources that have historically defined movement through these arid corridors, including Buck Brush Spring and the nearby Summit Spring to the east. The land is characterized by steep elevation shifts and natural depressions like Pumpkin Hollow, providing a clear view of the Basin and Range topography. Modern access is preserved through regional routes such as Reese River Rd in the north and E Walker Rd at the southern edge, illustrating how early pioneer trails often dictated the paths of contemporary local roads. The map serves as a detailed guide to the hydrological features like Abraham Spring that remain the primary landmarks in this unpopulated stretch of Nevada.
