2014 Map of Cold Springs

About this map

Cold Springs serves as a central point in this High Desert landscape, where the flat expanse of Edwards Creek Valley meets a series of steep drainages. The settlement's location is defined by its proximity to the historic transportation corridors of Old Overland Rd and Alpine Rd W. This area of central Nevada is characterized by a reliance on specific water sources, evidenced by the numbered sequence of Cedar Springs Number One through Cedar Springs Number Four. These features, along with Topia Cr and the namesake Cold Springs, illustrate the vital role of natural hydrology in a region dominated by canyons like Cold Springs Canyon, Pony Canyon, and Dry Canyon. The map also delineates the high-altitude boundary between Churchill and Lander Counties.
