2015 Map of Crowbar Spring

About this map

Crowbar Spring serves as a critical water point in this arid expanse of the Great Basin, located where the Black Rock Range meets the edge of the Black Rock Desert. This 2015 survey reveals a landscape defined by seasonal watercourses and vast alkaline flats, where the intermittent Quinn River meanders across the lower reaches of the quadrangle. Drainages such as Paiute Cr and Indian Cr carve into the terrain from the north and west, illustrating the hydrology of a region where water is the primary architect of the environment. The map provides a precise layout of Public Land Survey System townships and ranges, marking the administrative grid over this undeveloped Nevada wilderness.
