About this map

Ninemile Peak and Merriam Peak dominate the eastern topography of this high-altitude landscape, where the Antelope Range meets the southern reaches of the Toiyabe National Forest. The map documents a critical hydrologic network of high-desert springs, including Segura Spring Number Eight, Mountain Lion Spring, and Coal Burner Spring, which likely served as vital water sources for local ranching and transit.

Transit through this portion of Nye and Eureka counties is defined by the corridor of Antelope Valley Rd and E Antelope Rd, which track the floor of Antelope Valley. To the north, Ninemile Canyon carves through the mountains, while the headwaters of Copenhagen Cr and Meadow Cr underscore the complex drainage patterns of the Great Basin. This edition provides a precise record of public land boundaries and specialized water features like the numbered Segura springs.
