2014 Map of Kious Spring

About this map

The high-elevation landscape of the Snake Range dominates this portion of eastern Nevada, where the transition between federal lands defines the local geography. Significant portions of the terrain are managed within Great Basin National Park and the surrounding Humboldt National Forest. The map detail highlights a rugged network of drainage systems, including Snake Cr, Big Wash, and the N Fork Big Wash, which carve through deep canyons such as Pole Canyon and Young Canyon. Named springs like Kious Spring, Mahogany Spring, and Tilford Spring serve as critical water points in an otherwise arid environment. Notable topographical landmarks, including the Standing Snake Pinnacle, Castle Butte, and the appropriately named Horse Heaven, provide distinct navigational markers across this wilderness area during the early 21st century.
