About this map

The Egan Range dominates this high-altitude landscape where the borders of White Pine and Lincoln counties meet. This interior portion of the Great Basin is defined by a series of critical water sources that would have been vital for ranching and travel in this arid environment, including Haggerty Spring and the curiously named Stink-Pot Spring. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages such as Milk Ranch Canyon and Ninemile Canyon, which fall away from the heights of Ninemile Mtn.

Only a single improved road, Haggerty Rd, provides access across the eastern portion of the map, following the path of Haggerty Wash. The concentration of named springs, such as Parker Spring, Middle Parker Spring, and West Parker Spring, suggests a landscape utilized for livestock grazing, with these small points of water serving as the primary landmarks in a vast, non-urbanized expanse of the Nevada desert.
