2011 Map of Mustang Spring

About this map

The high desert landscape of Humboldt County is defined here by the water sources that sustain life in the arid Great Basin. Named points such as Mustang Spring, Mine Spring, and DeLong Spring highlight the critical role of groundwater in this part of Nevada, providing necessary resources for livestock and wildlife. The terrain is dominated by the Bilk Creek Mountains, which rise above the surrounding basins, while the Quinn River meanders through the southwestern corner of the sheet. To the east, the Kings River Valley opens up, overlooked by the prominent Black Mountain. Connectivity across this remote region is limited, anchored by the long stretch of Ninemile Rd and topographical markers like Sand Canyon.
