2018 Map of Green Springs

About this map

Green Springs and its namesake Green Springs Reservoir lie at the base of the White Pine Range, where the high desert meets the protected reaches of the Humboldt National Forest. This high-altitude drainage basin is defined by deep arterial canyons and ephemeral watercourses, most notably Lampson Canyon and Freeland Canyon. The terrain reflects a landscape shaped by seasonal water flow, with Green Springs Wash and Lampson Canyon Wash serving as the primary outlets for mountain runoff. Remote and sparsely populated, the area is connected by White Pine Co Road 5, which traverses the boundary between Nye and White Pine counties. Scattered water sources like Birch Spring and Mustang Spring provide vital points of interest for those tracking historical land use and early ranching routes in this portion of the Great Basin.
