About this map

The high-desert terrain of eastern Nevada is defined here by the rising slopes of the Schell Creek Range as it meets the broad expanse of Steptoe Valley. This landscape is marked by its vital water sources, including Greenwing Springs, Woodcamp Spring, and Indian Springs, which have long served as essential landmarks in this arid environment. The passage of travelers through this region is traced by Old Highway 93, which cuts a diagonal path across the valley floor, alongside more modern routes like NV-489.

To the south, distinctive topographical features such as Chicken Knoll, Fortymile Knoll, and the wide Brewers Flat break the alluvial fan topography. The eastern edge of the map climbs steeply into the mountains, where drainage features like Dry Canyon and Spring Gulch emerge from the high peaks. This survey provides a precise look at the drainage patterns and historical transportation corridors in White Pine County during the early 21st century.
