2015 Map of Chester Lyons Spring

About this map

Chester Lyons Spring serves as a vital water source in this high-elevation basin of Washoe County, where the desert landscape is defined by its seasonal hydrology and volcanic terrain. The map captures a remote section of northern Nevada characterized by the Hog Ranch Mountains and the expansive drainage systems of Grass Valley. Significant water features such as Findman Spring and Gillam Spring are critical landmarks for navigation and land use in this arid environment. The transition from the rugged slopes to the valley floor is traced by intermittent waterways like Clover Cr, Jims Cr, and Cottonwood Cr. Human presence is marked primarily by foundational infrastructure, including Chester Rd and Cottonwood Creek Rd, which follow the natural contours of the land to connect these isolated water points.
