2018 Map of Lages Station

About this map

Lages Station serves as the primary landmark in this high-desert landscape where the Elko Co and White Pine Co line bisects the northern terrain. The geography is defined by the transition from the broad Steptoe Valley into the elevated reaches of the Schell Creek Range. This area is notably characterized by a high density of water sources in an otherwise arid environment, including Becky Springs and the Willow Spring Reservoir. The infrastructure reflects the evolution of Great Basin travel, with modern routes paralleling segments of Old US Hwy 93 Alt. Further south, the terrain becomes increasingly complex as it rises toward Water Canyon, supported by a network of isolated water points such as Moonshine Spring, Trough Spring, and Barrel Spring, which have historically sustained transit and ranching through these basins.
