2018 Map of Crow Springs

About this map

Monte Cristo Range topography dominates the western portion of this Esmeralda County landscape, rising sharply from the basin floor. The terrain transitions from the high elevations of Doyle Peak down toward the wide, arid expanse of the Big Smoky Valley to the southeast. This 2018 survey illustrates the classic Basin and Range geography of central Nevada, where steep mountain fronts meet alluvial fans. At the northern edge of the range, Crow Springs provides a rare water source in a region defined by its isolation and dramatic vertical relief. The map reveals a network of primitive roads and section lines that trace the public land survey system across the desert floor, reflecting the traditional township and range divisions of t4n r39e and surrounding sections.
