2012 Map of Mustang Well

About this map

Mustang Well serves as a critical water point in this arid stretch of eastern Nevada, situated near the intersection of several desert tracks. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents a landscape primarily defined by its drainage patterns and water resources. The most prominent hydrological feature is Wilson Creek, which cuts across the southeastern portion of the quadrangle. The map reflects a remote region where survival and travel historically depended on these few named water sources, providing essential data for those studying the environmental management and cattle ranching history of the Great Basin.
