2018 Map of Bull Fork

About this map

Duckwater Peak dominates the northern skyline in this high-elevation corner of Nevada, where the high desert terrain transitions into the steep slopes of the Pancake Range. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral Bull Fork drainage and isolated water sources that have historically supported life in the Great Basin. To the south, Moody Mtn rises above the valley floor, providing a geographical anchor for the surrounding township boundaries. Local history and ranching roots are traced through vital water points like Butte Station Spring and Big Butte Spring, which represent the rare, reliable hydrology necessary for settlement and travel across the arid expanse of Nye Co.
