2011 Map of Hu-Pwi Wash

About this map

Gumdrop Hills rise above a landscape defined by seasonal drainage systems in this Mineral County survey. The map centers on the extensive Hu-Pwi Wash, which is joined by the N Fork Hu-Pwi Wash and South Fork Hu-Pwi Wash to the south. These ephemeral waterways, along with the nearby Hidden Wash, illustrate the intricate hydrology of the Nevada desert. Evidence of historic movement through this arid region is seen in Double Springs Rd, which cuts across the northwest, and Greasewood Spring, a critical water point for travelers and local wildlife. The lack of permanent structures emphasizes the area's use for transit and resource management rather than dense settlement at the start of the twenty-first century.
