2014 Map of Mount Stirling

About this map

The high-altitude topography of the Spring Mountains dominates this portion of the Toiyabe National Forest, where steep vertical reliefs culminate at the peak of Mount Stirling. This arid landscape is punctuated by a network of critical water sources, reflecting the environmental importance of landmarks like Pahrump Spring and Bill Smith Springs. The map delineates the boundary between Nye and Clark counties as it cuts through the Mojave Desert terrain. Along the southern slopes, the descent toward Pahrump is marked by deep geographic features such as Wood Canyon and its associated Wood Canyon Spring. Other isolated water points, including Jaybird Spring and Rainbow Springs, suggest the historical reliance on these specific locations for survival and passage through the high desert wilderness.
