The Spring Mountains dominate this 1984 survey, revealing a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes and essential water sources in the high desert of Clark County. This provisional edition documents the interface between the Toiyabe National Forest and the Red Rock Canyon Recreation Lands, highlighting a network of springs critical to the region's ecology and history. From Harris Springs in the north to Roses Spring and Switchback Spring further south, these water points dictated the movement of people and wildlife through the steep terrain.
