2018 Map of Hen Spring

About this map

Virgin Mountains and the high elevations of Virgin Peak Ridge dominate this borderland landscape where Nevada's Clark County meets Arizona's Mohave County. This high-desert terrain within the Mojave Desert is defined by sharp topographic relief, carved by numerous drainage systems including Indian Canyon, Middle Canyon, and Lime Kiln Canyon. Water sources are critical but sparse here, represented by the namesake Hen Spring and seasonal flows like Nickel Cr and Cedar Wash. The map reveals a modern layer of recreation through the Bikepacking: The Plateau Passage route, which traverses the rugged north-south corridor through the state line. Landforms like Bunkerville Ridge and Cabin Canyon Spur provide essential context for understanding the geologic and transit history of this arid interior region.
