About this map

Milk Ranch Spring and several other groundwater sources define the high-elevation landscape of this 2018 survey, reflecting the essential geography of eastern Nevada. The rugged Schell Creek Range dominates the western portion of the sheet, where peaks like Mt Montezuma and topographic corridors like Patterson Pass transition into the flatter expanses of Lake Valley to the east.

The distribution of named water points, including Antelope Spring, Rosebud Spring, and Schwartz Spring, highlights the sparse but critical resources that have historically supported ranching and transit in this arid basin-and-range environment. The only significant engineered landmark is Patterson Pass Rd, which provides access through the range, connecting the elevated backcountry to the valley floor.
