2014 Map of Cow Camp

About this map

Butte Valley dominates the eastern expanse of this White Pine County landscape, where the high-altitude terrain transitions toward the rugged Butte Mountains in the northwest. The presence of Cow Camp reflects the region's enduring connection to open-range ranching, positioned along the edge of the valley floor. Water, a critical resource in this arid Nevada environment, is marked by the isolated Butte Spring at the base of the mountain range. Access through this remote territory is defined by primitive routes such as Cr-17 and Cr-19, which navigate the wide basins and follow the natural contours of the land. This survey provides a precise look at the land partitions and section lines of Townships 22 and 23 North, documenting the geographic layout of a sparsely settled portion of the Great Basin.
