About this map

Massacre Range and Nellie Spring Mtn dominate the northern terrain of this high-desert landscape in northwestern Nevada. The map reveals a land defined by its scarce water sources, where remote tracks like High Rock Canyon Rd and Hart Camp Rd connect a network of isolated springs and livestock-related improvements. Significant water features include Americum Reservoir in the northwest and Little Mahogany Reservoir near the center, supporting the ranching operations that have long characterized Washoe County.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the naming of the land through family-named landmarks and utilitarian sites like Harts Springs, Docking Corral Spring, and Pothole Spring. The complex topography is punctuated by Hart Mtn and Little Mahogany Mtn, while the eastern edge is marked by the Little High Rock Mountains. This 2018 survey provides an exact record of these vital watering holes and the unimproved roads that navigate the high-elevation flats and canyons.
