2021 Map of Junction Well

About this map

Maverick Springs Range and the Tognini Mountains define the high-desert topography of this White Pine County landscape. The area is characterized by the broad expanse of Long Valley, which serves as a natural basin for seasonal drainage through the Long Valley Wash. This 2021 survey documents a sparsely populated but geographically complex portion of the Great Basin, where water sources like Cabin Spring are critical markers on the land. The eastern and southern reaches of the quadrangle rise sharply into the Butte Mountains, showing the characteristic basin and range structure of rural Nevada. This map provides a modern baseline for researchers and land managers tracking the subtle features of this high-elevation environment, from ephemeral washes to remote mountain peaks.
