About this map

The Stillwater Range dominates this portion of the Great Basin, where the high elevation of Logan Peak and Table Mtn overlooks a network of deep drainage basins. Water sources are critical in this arid environment, evidenced by the strategic naming of Kitten Springs, Logan Spring, and Mustang Spring. These points of perennial or seasonal water historically dictated movement through the mountains for early travelers and livestock.

Transportation is defined by the Kitten Springs Rd and Fas-615, which navigate the northern flats before winding toward the interior canyons. The landscape is heavily dissected by prominent geological features such as Big Ben Canyon and New York Canyon, while the presence of Hot Spring to the east suggests the geothermal activity common to the western Nevada range. The boundary between Pershing and Churchill counties crosses the southern margin, marking a remote divide in the high desert.
