2014 Map of Haggerty Spring

About this map

The Egan Range dominates this portion of eastern Nevada, where the border between White Pine and Lincoln counties cuts through a landscape defined by seasonal water sources and deep canyons. High-elevation points like Ninemile Mtn look down upon a network of drainages including Ninemile Canyon and the expansive Long Canyon. The distribution of named water sources, such as Stink Pot Spring and Cottonwood Spring, indicates the critical points of survival and navigation in this arid environment. Transportation is limited to remote tracks like Haggerty Rd, which follows the path of Haggerty Wash near the eponymous Haggerty Spring. These features reflect the long-standing importance of reliable water for ranching operations and travelers moving through the high desert, evidenced by names like Milk Ranch Canyon.
