2021 Map of Liberty Springs

About this map

Big Smoky Valley dominates the western half of this Nevada landscape, where the wide, flat basin meets the rising slopes of the San Antonio Mountains to the east. This transition from valley floor to mountain range is marked by topographic shifts and the essential presence of Liberty Springs, a vital water source in an otherwise arid environment. The map captures the vast alluvial fans and drainage patterns flowing from the peaks toward the valley. To the south, the terrain begins to shift toward the Crescent Dunes, illustrating the complex geomorphology of the high desert. The survey detail reflects the sparse but critical features that define Nye County’s geography, from high-elevation ridgelines to the low-lying basin floor.
