About this map

Cave Mountain dominates the western topography of this White Pine County landscape, where the high desert meets the drainages of the Schell Creek Range. The map illustrates a remote ranching and recreation corridor centered on Cleve Cr and Bastian Cr. Human activity is concentrated around water sources and transportation routes, such as the Bastian Creek Ranch and the Cleve Creek Campground.

Numerous isolated water points including Kolcheck Springs, Cottonwood Spring, and Indian Springs highlight the importance of perennial sources in this arid environment. The road network, comprising the Cleve Creek Rd and several Forest Service development roads like NFD 570 Rd, provides access to the Kolcheck Basin and the higher elevations of the National Forest. This 2012 survey captures the area's enduring character as a site of both private ranching and public forest management.
