2014 Map of Moorman Spring NW

About this map

White River Valley dominates this 2014 survey of the high desert basin along the border of White Pine and Nye counties. The landscape is defined by the broad, low-lying expanse of the valley floor, which sits between prominent mountain ranges just beyond the margins of this sheet. A localized geological depression known as The Cove sits in the central portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the complex drainage patterns and alluvial formations characteristic of the Great Basin region. This modern topographic study focuses on the vast open reaches of the basin-and-range interior, where surveying lines for townships like t10n r60e and t9n r61e provide the primary framework for understanding the geography of this sparsely populated corner of Nevada.
