2018 Map of McCormack Spring

About this map

McCormack Spring and Cherry Springs serve as critical water points in this high-elevation corner of Eureka County. The landscape is dominated by the Cortez Mountains, which rise sharply above the drainages of Pine Cr and Trout Cr. This 2018 survey captures the region's ranching and mining infrastructure, centered on the rugged passage of Devils Gate. The presence of Iron Mine Rd in the southern portion of the map suggests the area's continued connection to the mineral-rich history of northern Nevada. This map provides a clear record of the modern township and range grid across these remote basins, illustrating how early surveying lines continue to organize the contemporary high-desert landscape.
