2018 Map of Crows Nest

About this map

Evans Field sits at the northern edge of this high-desert basin, a landscape defined by seasonal drainages and isolated water sources. The terrain is characterized by the descent from Hooper Canyon in the southeast toward the flatter expanse of the valley floor to the west. Essential water points for livestock or travelers are sparse but critical, represented by Crows Nest Spring and Blind Spring. The drainage network, including Little Meadows Cr, Hooper Cr, and Bordoli Cr, indicates how water moves across these alluvial fans during periods of runoff. Transportation is anchored by the historic Midland Trail Rd and R R Valley Rd, reflecting the sparse but enduring transit corridors through this portion of Nye County.
