2014 Map of Callaway Well

About this map

Callaway Well serves as the primary named point of human activity in this arid corner of Nye County, where the high desert terrain of the Horse Range dominates the landscape. The topographic data reflects a complex environment of shifting elevations and dry drainage patterns, most notably The Big Wash, which cuts through the southern portion of the quadrangle. This 2014 survey captures the area within the Public Land Survey System grids of t10n r59e, t10n r60e, t9n r59e, and t9n r60e. The map illustrates the isolation of the Great Basin, focusing on the essential water sources and mountain ranges that have historically dictated movement and land use in this part of Nevada.
