2021 Map of Hot Pot

About this map

Hot Pot and the nearby Hot Springs anchor this sparsely developed landscape along the boundary of Humboldt and Lander Counties. The topography is defined by the subtle variations of the high desert, where thermal activity has created these named landmarks. Apart from these geothermal features and a network of unimproved roads, the map illustrates the vast, open character of this Great Basin region. The strictly rectangular grid of township lines, including t35n r44e and t36n r43e, indicates the systematic Bureau of Land Management surveying that governs this portion of Nevada. This map provides a precise look at the land ownership and jurisdictional lines in an area where natural water sources and thermal activity were critical for early navigation and land use.
