About this map

Heart Hills anchors the northwest corner of this desert landscape, where water management defines the arid terrain of Nye County. The intermittent flow of Sand Springs Wash cuts north-to-south through the center, feeding into specific collection points such as Logan Catch Basin and Needles Catch Basin. These features reflect the essential infrastructure required for rangeland or wildlife support in the Great Basin. Toward the southeastern corner, Lava Bed Spring emerges as a rare perennial water source, while Black Lava Rd provides the primary transit corridor through the scrubland. This 2012 survey by the U. S. Geological Survey documents the sparse but critical network of springs and catchments that sustain life in this remote section of Nevada.
