2012 Map of Dickenson Well

About this map

Dickenson Well sits at a critical junction of terrain and transport in this corner of White Pine County. The landscape is defined by the broad expanse of Long Valley, where the drainage patterns of Long Valley Canyon and Burnt Canyon converge. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the sparse but essential infrastructure of the high desert, centered on the vital water source of the well and the local road network of Co RD-3 and Co RD-8. The map illustrates a high-elevation environment where human presence is tethered to the availability of water and the rugged pathways through the canyons, providing a clear view of the area's topographical character and hydraulic features.
