2012 Map of Moorman Spring NW

About this map

The Cove defines this stretch of the Great Basin in eastern Nevada, characterized by an expansive network of intermittent drainages and natural washes. The terrain reflects the arid landscape of Nye County, where water movement is seasonal and shapes the local topography through complex alluvial patterns. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the sparse infrastructure of the region, anchored primarily by Co Rd-14. The road network provides the essential transit corridor through this open country, illustrating the scale of rural land management and the persistent reliance on established gravel or dirt routes to navigate the high desert floor between mountain ranges.
