2015 Map of Hot Springs Peak

About this map

Hot Springs Peak dominates the northern reaches of the Hot Springs Range, a high-desert landscape in Nevada defined by its dramatic elevation changes and essential water sources. This 2015 survey reveals the topographical complexity of the Great Basin terrain, where the Little Humboldt River cuts through the northwestern corner. The importance of reliable water in this arid environment is evident by the placement of Reed Spring and Scott Spring within the rugged foothills. Navigational points such as Stewart Gap and Ling Canyon suggest historic routes through the mountains, providing passage toward the lower elevations of Eden Valley to the southeast. The map's township and range grids, such as t40n r40e, underscore the systematic land management typical of the American West.
