2018 Map of Double Hot Springs

About this map

Double Hot Springs and the expansive playa of the Black Rock Desert dominate this northern Nevada landscape. This modern survey illustrates a topography shaped by intermittent water sources and geothermal activity, where the desert floor meets the rising elevations of the surrounding mountains. The presence of Jackson Reservoir and named watercourses like Clapper Cr and Cow Cr indicate the critical role of moisture in this arid environment. Transport through this remote section of Humboldt County is primarily facilitated by Soldier Meadows Rd, which skirts the western edge of the desert. Along the eastern slopes, a series of natural outflows including Van Riper Spring, Bronco Springs, and Casey Springs mark historically significant points of water access for travelers and livestock in the Great Basin.
