2012 Map of Hen Spring

About this map

Hen Spring serves as a vital water source in this arid corner of the Nevada-Arizona borderlands, where the landscape is defined by a series of dramatic drainages and high-desert relief. The topography is dominated by several significant corridors, including Middle Canyon, Indian Canyon, and Lime Kiln Canyon, which cut through the terrain towards the eastern edge of the quadrangle. A network of primitive routes and tracks provides the only access through this territory, most notably White Rock Rd. The map illustrates a drainage pattern centered around Nickel Creek and the distinctive Cabin Canyon Spur, revealing the complex natural erosion of the region. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the landform precisely, capturing the essential geography of Clark County before further modern development or environmental shifts altered these isolated features.
