About this map

Currie Gardens marks a point of interest in this high-desert landscape within the Steptoe Valley, where water sources define the geography. The map reveals a network of vital water points including Thompson Springs, Mustang Springs, and Moonshine Spring, which have long supported ranching and travel through this portion of Elko County. These springs are clustered near the base of significant terrain features such as the Cherry Creek Range and Palomino Ridge.

Transportation through the basin is anchored by US Highway 93, which cuts a straight line through the valley floor, intersected by local routes like Mizpah Rd and Cottonwood Canyon Rd. The drainage of Phalen Creek and the presence of Locust Spring and Twin Springs further illustrate the sparse but essential hydrology of this Great Basin environment. The map provides a detailed view of the Public Land Survey System township and range grid, essential for researchers tracing land ownership or historical access points in Nevada’s interior.
