2012 Map of Cherry Spring

About this map

The J Henroid Ranch stands as a primary point of human activity in this arid White Pine County landscape, where water sources dictate the placement of local landmarks. The area's reliance on groundwater is evident through a series of named watering points including Woodcamp Spring, Cherry Spring, and Indian Springs. Transportation is defined by the corridor of US Route 93 and the nearby path of Old Hwy 93, tracing a route through the high desert floor between distinctive landforms. Elevation changes are marked by features such as Fortymile Knoll and Chicken Knoll, which rise above the level terrain of Brewers Flat. This 2012 survey illustrates the sparse but critical network of springs and ranching infrastructure that supports life in the Great Basin, reflecting a landscape that has changed little in its basic geographic requirements over many decades.
