About this map

Crows Nest Spring and Blind Spring emerge from the high desert landscape of Nye County, marking vital water sources in an otherwise arid environment. This 2014 survey captures a section of Nevada where the rugged topography of Hooper Canyon meets the expansive valley floors. The mapping reveals a sparse but functional network of transit and land use, defined by long desert reaches such as Railroad Valley Rd and the Midland Trail Rd.

Evidence of local ranching and aviation history is preserved through labels like Berdolli Ranch RD and the isolated Evans Field landing strip in the north. Water drainage patterns are clearly delineated, tracing the paths of Little Meadows Cr, Hooper Cr, and Bordoli Cr as they descend from the higher elevations of Crows Nest. The map provides a detailed record of these named desert landmarks and the infrastructure connecting this portion of the Great Basin.
