2014 Map of Hen Spring

About this map

Virgin Peak Ridge and the high elevations of the Virgin Mountains dominate this 2014 survey along the border of Nevada and Arizona. This arid high-country landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, where the northern reaches of the Mojave Desert transition into complex drainage systems. Named canyons like Lime Kiln Canyon and Cow Canyon cut through the terrain, indicating the historical importance of these corridors for movement through the range. Remote landmarks such as Hen Spring and Nickelor provide rare water points in a landscape otherwise marked by dry washes like Cedar Wash. The presence of Cabin Canyon Rd and Whitepocket Rd suggests the continued use of old access routes through the wilderness, while the proximity of the Bunkerville area on Bunkerville Ridge links the high peaks to the lower valley settlements.
