2021 Map of Lages Station

About this map

Steptoe Valley and the towering heights of the Schell Creek Range dominate this 2021 landscape at the boundary of Elko and White Pine counties. The map documents an intricate network of water sources essential to this high-desert environment, including Becky Springs and Willow Spring Reservoir. The rugged slopes are marked by numerous named water features such as Moonshine Spring, Trough Spring, and Barrel Spring, indicating the critical role of these points for local wildlife and land use. Transportation history is etched into the valley floor, where Old US Hwy 93 Alt and other bypassed alignments trace the evolution of travel through this corridor. To the south, the terrain deepens into Water Canyon, illustrating the dramatic vertical relief between the valley floor and the high peaks of the Great Basin.
