2012 Map of Henrys Well

About this map

Henrys Well stands as a focal point in this portion of Nye County, marking a vital water source in the arid desert landscape. The terrain is defined by the eastern slopes of the San Antonio Mountains, where seasonal drainages like Hunts Creek and Willow Creek carve paths across the alluvial fans. This 2012 survey illustrates the modern configuration of the high desert, where transportation is limited to routes like the Nfd 127 Rd and other unnamed tracks that navigate the expansive valley floor. The map provides a clear picture of the hydrological patterns of the region, showing how surface water from the mountains transitions into the lower basins, a critical detail for understanding the land use and historical ranching potential of this remote Nevada quadrangle.
