About this map

Double Spring and the surrounding high-desert landscape of Douglas County dominate this 2014 survey. This portion of the Pine Nut Mountains is characterized by a high concentration of spring-fed basins and narrow canyons that historically dictated movement through the terrain. Evidence of the region's ranching and natural resource legacy is visible in the naming of places like Brown Meadows, Dead Horse Flat, and Mill Canyon.

Settlement patterns remain sparse, concentrated primarily at Carman Heights and the Carter Springs area. The Toyabe National Forest boundary covers the southern reaches of the map, where the elevation rises significantly toward Simee Dimeh Summit and Granite Peak. Transportation follows the natural contours of the land, with Pinenut Rd and Cedar Flats Rd providing the primary access through the drainage systems of Pine Nut Cr and Buffalo Canyon.
