2018 Map of Moorman Spring

About this map

Moorman Spring serves as a vital water source in the high desert of Nye County, positioned along the western edge of the White River Valley. This 2018 survey illustrates a stark Great Basin landscape defined by significant topographic relief between the valley floor and the surrounding upland features. Large geographic depressions known as The Cove and Lower Cove mark the western portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the complex erosional patterns of the region. The map provides clear documentation of the Public Land Survey System grids, specifically crossing through T9N, T8N, and T7N, which is essential for land tenure research and identifying historical grazing or water rights in this arid environment.
