2011 Map of Carroll Summit NE

About this map

Old Overland Rd traces a path through the southern reaches of this landscape, marking a historical corridor across the high desert of Churchill County. The terrain is defined by its water sources, where clustered labels like Stoker Spring, Stoker Spring Number One, and Twin Springs suggest essential stopping points in an otherwise arid environment. These springs and canyons appear to dictate the movement of roads and drainage patterns, with Porter Creek winding through the central portion of the map and South Fork Porter Canyon cutting into the western hills. The network of naming, from Carr Spring to Porter Spring, indicates a landscape thoroughly mapped for its survival-critical water points, serving as a guide for ranching or travel through the Great Basin. Corral Spring further reinforces the area's utility as a grazing or holding ground, while Smith Creek provides a notable drainage feature in the southwest corner.
