2012 Map of Horse Track Spring

About this map

White River Campground serves as a central landmark in this high-elevation landscape, situated along the White River. The area is defined by its vital water sources in an otherwise arid environment, including the namesake Horse Track Spring and Cottonwood Spring. These springs and seasonal drainages like Cottonwood Cr and Currant Cr dictate the local geography, providing necessary water for travelers and wildlife alike. The terrain is dominated by the prominence of Red Mountain, which rises above the surrounding valleys. Transport through this portion of Nye County is facilitated by the Natl Forest Develop Road 405 Rd, which follows the river's path, and various primitive routes like 405 and 407. The presence of isolated points like Halfway Spring suggests the historic importance of reliable waypoints for movement across this rugged terrain.
