2014 Map of Cole Spring

About this map

Cole Spring serves as a lone water source in this high-desert landscape where the basins and ranges of central Nevada converge. The terrain is dominated by the Cedar Mountains and the Royston Hills, which divide the broad expanses of the Cirac Valley to the north from the Monte Cristo Valley in the southwest. This 2014 survey documents a complex intersection of administrative boundaries, marking the meeting point of Nye, Mineral, and Esmeralda Counties. The map reveals the isolation of these arid valleys, where few roads penetrate the rugged elevations and the land remains largely defined by its natural topography and the legal lines of the Public Land Survey System, including t7n r38e and t6n r39e.
