2018 Map of McBrides Sheep Well

About this map

McBrides Sheep Well anchors the western edge of this High Desert landscape in White Pine County, where the high-altitude topography of the Butte Mountains dominates the eastern half of the survey. The terrain is defined by deep drainage systems including North Canyon and Middle Canyon, which funnel toward the lower elevations of Queue Valley. This arid region exhibits a sparse settlement pattern characteristic of eastern Nevada, where water resources like the White Sage Wash dictate the location of historic sheep ranching and range infrastructure. The primary transit corridor is CO Rte 3, providing a singular path through the complex system of ridges and basins that define this portion of the Great Basin.
