Big Sand Springs Valley defines the eastern expanse of this high-desert landscape in Nye County, where seasonal drainage systems and volcanic landforms intersect. The map illustrates a complex network of waterways, including Chaos Creek and its tributaries, the Middle Fork and South Fork, which flow from the higher elevations of the Needle Range. These ephemeral streams descend toward the valley floor, eventually joining the Sand Springs Wash.
