About this map

The Egan Range dominates this landscape in White Pine County, Nevada, serving as a high-elevation divider between the Smith Valley to the west and Steptoe Valley to the east. This modern survey illustrates the essential role of water in the Great Basin, mapping numerous life-sustaining points such as McManus Spring, Toner Spring, and Bennett Spring. The terrain is characterized by deep incisions like Lusetti Canyon and Bradley Canyon, which provide natural corridors through the steep slopes.

Transportation through this high-desert environment relies on historic routes such as Bothwick Rd and Lackawanna Rd, which snake through the foothills. Other landmarks like The Cove and Heusser Mtn provide orientation for those navigating the eastern slopes. The map reveals the intricate network of canyons and springs that have historically dictated movement and land use in this part of the Basin and Range province.
