About this map

Wimer Place stands as a focal point of human activity in this arid basin, situated west of the high desert terrain of the Painted Point Range. The landscape is defined by its critical water sources, with ephemeral bodies like Calcutta Lake, Cow Lake, and Horse Lake dotting the Long Valley floor. These seasonal basins are supported by a network of vital mountain-edge sources including Antelope Spring, Beebe Spring, and Sage Hen Springs.

High-altitude landmarks such as Yellow Peak and Bald Mtn overlook the transition from open flats like Rock Flat to the more confined geography of Cottonwood Canyon and Bald Mountain Canyon. The mapping of grazing areas like Buck Pasture reflects the region's enduring connection to livestock and rangeland history, while the presence of CR-34 provides the primary transit corridor through this remote Nevada high country.
