2014 Map of Mountain Springs

About this map

Mountain Springs sits at a high-elevation pass between the Las Vegas Valley and the Pahrump Valley, serving as a critical point of relief in the arid landscape of the Spring Mountains. This 2014 survey captures the settlement and its surrounding natural landmarks, including the prominent Sandstone Bluffs and the high point at Mountain Springs Summit. The terrain is defined by the eastern edge of the Toiyabe National Forest, where the higher elevations support a series of vital water sources such as Rainbow Spring, Bootleg Spring, and Warner Spring. The proximity of these springs to the historic Pahrump Rd illustrates the long-standing importance of this corridor for travel across the Mojave Desert. The map also details the deep drainage of Lovell Canyon, providing a clear view of the complex topography that governed early routes and modern development in western Clark County.
