2021 Map of Eagle Rock Spring

About this map

The Sheephead Mountains define the high ground of this desert landscape in Pershing County, Nevada, where water remains the most critical marker of the terrain. Vital water sources such as Eagle Rock Spring, Mustang Spring, and Trail Springs appear along the mountain flanks, serving as historical landmarks in an otherwise arid region. The eastern portion of the sheet is dominated by the volcanic features of The Lava Beds and Lava Beds Cr, while the southwestern corner transitions into the open expanse of the Kumiva Valley. This topography, mapped with data from the U.S. Geological Survey and the BLM, highlights the complex relationship between reliable springs and the travel corridors through Trail Canyon. The map records a modern view of a landscape where traditional grazing and exploration routes continue to depend on these ancient geological features.
