About this map

Midas Spring serves as a small water source within the arid landscape of the Great Basin, where the Paradise Range rises to the west. This desert terrain is defined by wide expanses including Smith Creek Valley and Ione Valley, which are separated by low-lying ridges and seasonal watercourses. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the managed lands of the Toiyabe National Forest, where the topography becomes more pronounced.

Ephemeral drainages like Sunnyside Cr, Lebeau Cr, and Idlewild Cr carve through the valley floors, leading toward Ione Wash in the south. Human activity in this isolated area is primarily represented by the Natl Forest Develop Road 060 Rd, which provides the main access through the public land. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundary between Lander Co and Nye Co, marking a quiet intersection of Nevada's interior wilderness.
