2012 Map of Jet Spring

About this map

Mount Ziggurat stands as a prominent landmark in this high-desert portion of Nye County, where the landscape is defined by drainage patterns and forest service access routes. The area is largely undeveloped, serving as a corridor for back-country navigation via New Moores Creek Rd and several primitive tracks managed by the U.S. Forest Service. Water is a critical and sparse resource here, represented by the namesake Jet Spring found in the central-east portion of the quadrangle. The map details the remote transition between the valley floor and the rising slopes of the Toiyabe National Forest, tracing the precise routes of Natl Forest Develop Road 398 Rd as it winds through the arid terrain.
