2021 Map of Mud Spring Gulch

About this map

The Shoshone Range dominates this portion of Lander County, Nevada, where the high desert terrain transitions into prominent peaks like Bald Mtn and Granite Mtn. This landscape is defined by its drainages and water sources, essential for ranching and mining operations in such an arid environment. Notable water features include Filippini Spring Number Three and Mud Spring, which provide life to the steep-walled Slaven Canyon and Corral Canyon. The map reveals a complex network of topographical depressions and rises, such as Myers Hill and the dark volcanic surfaces of the Malpais. The distribution of named gulches, including Mud Spring Gulch and Tub Spring Gulch, alongside seasonal flows like Fire Cr, illustrates the drainage patterns that have shaped the geological character and land use of the central Nevada interior.
