2018 Map of Minerva

About this map

Spring Valley dominates the high desert landscape of this White Pine County region, where the broad expanse of Baking Powder Flat meets the rising terrain to the east. The small settlement of Minerva sits at a critical junction of local transport routes, serving as a focal point for the surrounding ranching and mining country. Water management and natural springs are central to life in this arid basin, evidenced by features such as Blind Spring and the southern drainage of Murphy Wash. Modern infrastructure is represented by the transit corridors of S Highline Rd and Swallow Canyon Rd, which trace the base of the mountains. This 2018 survey provides a clear view of the Public Land Survey System grid across Townships 10, 11, and 12 North, illustrating how land divisions and local roads follow the natural contours of the valley floor.
