2014 Map of Hot Creek Butte

About this map

Hot Creek Butte rises as a prominent landmark over a desert landscape defined by a critical network of water sources in this 2014 survey. The topography is shaped by the White River and Moon River, which feed into several man-made catchments including Hay Meadow Reservoir, Tule Field Reservoir, and Whipple Reservoir. These features, along with Moon River Spring and Camp Spring, illustrate the essential role of water management in this arid region of Nye County. The map shows a clear division of the land into townships, including t6n r60e and t5n r61e, while the Sunnyside road provides the primary transit corridor. Murphy Meadows and Big Spring Wash further define the natural drainage patterns that have historically dictated the use of this high-desert terrain.
