2015 Map of Monte Neva Hot Springs

About this map

Monte Neva Hot Springs and Warm Springs anchor this arid landscape within White Pine County, where water sources dictate the geography of the high desert. To the west, the steep slopes of the Egan Range are cut by a series of dramatic drainages, including Pluto Canyon, Log Canyon, and Boneyard Canyon. These canyons descend toward the valley floor, where ephemeral and perennial water features like Duck Cr and Cold Spring provide critical relief. The transport network reflects a transition from early pioneer routes to modern transit, evidenced by the alignment of Old Highway 93 and several county roads. The map illustrates a classic Great Basin pattern of mountain-front hydrology, where hot and cold springs emerge at the feet of prominent landmarks like Telegraph Hill.
