About this map

The Old Overland Rd cuts across the southern reach of this high-desert landscape, marking a corridor of historical transit through the rugged Great Basin. To the west, the Desatoya Mountains dominate the horizon, with steep drainage systems like South Fork Porter Canyon and Porter Cr flowing toward the broader Smith Creek Valley. This arid environment is defined by its vital water sources, where named springs such as Stoker Spring Number One, Corral Spring, and Twin Springs provided essential points of rest and survival for travelers and livestock. The map captures the meeting of Churchill and Lander counties along the high ridges, where the high-altitude terrain shifts from mountain peaks to the alluvial fans of the valley floor.
