2012 Map of McCutchen Spring

About this map

McCutchen Spring and Upper McCutcheon Spring serve as critical water points in this arid expanse of Lincoln County, where the high desert terrain meets the eastern slopes of the Quinn Canyon Range. The landscape is defined by its dramatic topographic shifts, moving from the broad floor of Sand Spring Valley into the elevated terrain of the Worthington Mountains. Navigation through this area relies on a network of unpaved forest and range roads, including McCutchen Springs Rd and NFD 414 RD, which provide access to remote livestock watering sites and seasonal drainages. The presence of Cedar Spring and Wild Horse Spring underscores the traditional importance of reliable water sources for both wildlife and land management in this isolated part of Nevada, while Davis Creek marks the primary drainage system carving through the canyon slopes.
