About this map

The Egan Range dominates the western topography of this White Pine County landscape, where steep slopes give way to the broad basin of the Steptoe Valley. The central feature of the lowlands is the Monte Neva Hot Springs, a geothermal landmark located near the settlement of Warm Springs. This area has long served as a critical water source in an otherwise arid environment, evidenced by the concentration of riparian features like Duck Creek and Cold Spring that thread through the valley floor.

Evidence of the area's geological and human history is etched into the terrain through a series of named drainages, including Gold Canyon and Boneyard Canyon. Transport across this high-desert expanse relies on a network of rural routes such as White Pine Co Road 27 and Mountain Neva Rd, which connect the scattered springs and canyons to the path of Old Hwy 93 at the southern edge of the quadrangle.
