2014 Map of Hu-Pwi Wash

About this map

Greasewood Spring and the arid reaches of the Gillis Range define the western edge of this desert landscape in Mineral County. The terrain is shaped by an intricate network of seasonal drainage systems, most notably the wide alluvial fans of Hu-Pwi Wash, including its N Fork Hu-Pwi Wash and S Fork Hu-Pwi Wash. These channels converge and spread across the high basin floor, illustrating the flash-flood hydrology of the Great Basin. To the east, the Gumdrop Hills rise above the surrounding flats, while Hidden Wash carves its own path through the southeast corner. The only significant man-made infrastructure shown is Double Springs Rd, which cuts through the central valley, providing the primary access point for this isolated high-altitude environment.
