2011 Map of Mud Spring

About this map

Mud Spring and the surrounding plateau of Douglas County define this high-desert landscape in the early twenty-first century. The area is characterized by a precise grid of rural roads, including Pioneer School Rd NW and Leslie Rd NW, which traverse the undulating terrain and intermittent drainage systems. Small pockets of life are signaled by the namesake Mud Spring and other scattered water sources such as Marion Hill Spring and Willow Spring. The topography is marked by deep depressions and drainages like Wolf Draw and the upper reaches of West Foster Creek. This map reflects the enduring rural structure of the region, where family names and local destinations are preserved in the naming of roads like Christenson Rd NW and Peach Rd.
