2021 Map of Mount Stirling

About this map

Mt Stirling dominates this section of the Spring Mountains within the Toiyabe National Forest, where the high-altitude terrain meets the northern reaches of the Mojave Desert. This arid landscape is defined by its critical water sources, scattered across the slopes as a series of isolated springs including Jaybird Spring, Gold Spring, and the clustered Bill Smith Springs. The presence of these named water points suggests their historical importance for travelers and livestock in a region where surface water is otherwise absent. Transport through the area is limited to rugged tracks like Thurber Rd and the Horseshoe Springs Loop Trl, which provides access to the western canyons. The map also captures the administrative boundary between Nye and Clark counties, cutting through the eastern portion of Wood Canyon.
