2012 Map of Lages Station

About this map

Lages Station sits at a critical junction in northeastern Nevada, where modern routes intersect the remnants of Old Hwy 93. This high-desert landscape in Elko County is defined by a sparse but vital network of water sources, essential for survival and navigation in this arid environment. The map documents numerous named springs tucked into the terrain, including Moonshine Spring, Trough Spring, and Lone Cedar Spring. Drainage patterns like Sampson Cr and N Cr emphasize the basin-and-range topography. To the south, the Willow Spring Reservoir and nearby Willow Spring provide a rare concentration of surface water, illustrating how geography dictates the few pockets of human activity and infrastructure in this part of the Great Basin.
