2012 Map of Emigrant Springs

About this map

Rock Springs Cow Camp and its namesake Rock Spring anchor the northeastern reaches of this landscape, marking a point of human activity in a region defined by its hydrography. The terrain is carved by complex drainages, where Devils Creek and Rock Spring Creek collect water from numerous unnamed tributaries across the high desert. Historical movement through the area is reflected in the placement of water sources like Emigrant Springs and Cold Springs, which likely served as vital stops in an arid environment.
