About this map

The Grant Range dominates the western topography of this Nye County quadrant, giving way to the broad expanse of the White River Valley to the east. This 2021 survey reveals a landscape defined by its hydraulic infrastructure and seasonal drainages, anchored by the presence of Forest Home Reservoir Number 4 and Forest Home Reservoir Number 1. These water management features, along with Forest Home Cr, illustrate the critical importance of water resources in this arid Nevada environment.

Transportation through the basin is facilitated by Natl Forest Develop Road 412 RD, which traverses the southern portion of the map near Moon River Gap. The intricate network of desert washes, including the prominent Big Spring Wash, Teaspoon Wash, and Sherwood Wash, indicates a complex drainage system flowing toward the southern Garden Valley. Isolated water sources such as Mountain Spring and Little Spring provide specific points of interest for those studying the area's natural landmarks.
