The Fox Range and the Lake Range dominate this corner of Washoe County, where the high desert landscape is defined by its scarce but vital water sources. Numerous watering points like Fox Canyon Spring, Summit Springs, Buckbrush Spring, and Sheep Pass Spring appear as critical markers across the dry terrain. These springs were historically essential for any activity in this portion of the Great Basin, dictating the movement of livestock and travelers through the high passes.
