2018 Map of Izzenhood Spring

About this map

Sheep Creek Range dominates this portion of Lander County, rising toward the prominent Sterritt Peak in the southwest and tapering toward the Shoshone Mesa in the southeast. This high-altitude desert environment is defined by its scarce but vital water sources, including Izzenhood Spring and Sagebrush Spring, which historically supported livestock and wildlife in this isolated corridor. The map details the complex drainage systems of Sheep Cr, where seasonal water flow has carved the terrain into a network of steep draws and ridges. Landmarks like Workhorse Butte serve as navigational anchors in a landscape primarily utilized for open-range grazing and mineral exploration, reflecting the enduring ranching character of central Nevada.
