2015 Map of Lages Station

About this map

Steptoe Valley and the northern reaches of the Schell Creek Range dominate this Nevada landscape at the border of Elko and White Pine counties. Centered on the junction of 93 and Alt 93, the area is defined by its vital water sources in an otherwise arid environment. Numerous named springs, including Becky Springs, Moonshine Spring, and Willow Spring, are clustered along the mountain slopes, feeding into the Willow Spring Reservoir. The map captures the path of Sampson Cr and North Cr as they navigate the high-elevation terrain, while Water Canyon provides a distinct geographic landmark near the valley floor. Lages Station serves as the primary human landmark, situated where contemporary routes meet the path of Old Highway 93, reflecting the enduring importance of this crossroads for travel through the Great Basin.
