About this map

Toiyabe Range peaks dominate the northern portion of this Nevada landscape, descending sharply toward the level expanse of Grass Valley. This 2021 topographic map illustrates a classic Great Basin environment where high-altitude ridges meet an arid basin floor. The transition is marked by Hot Springs Point, a prominent landform overlooking a series of geothermal and water features including Hot Springs and Crow Spring.

Hydrological patterns are defined by seasonal drainages like Dry Canyon Wash, which winds across the valley floor toward Little Hot Springs in the southeast. For researchers and local historians, the map provides a clear view of the Public Land Survey System grid across Lander County, showing how township and range lines were laid over this remote terrain. The isolation of these water sources suggests their historical importance to early ranching and travel through the valley.
