2018 Map of Ninemile Well

About this map

Butte Valley dominates the western portion of this high-desert landscape in White Pine County, where water sources like Ninemile Well serve as vital landmarks for navigation and survival. The terrain shifts dramatically to the east as the Cherry Creek Range rises from the valley floor, cut by the deep recess of Clonch Canyon. This area is defined by the practical infrastructure of the Great Basin, including White Pine Co Road 19, which traverses the arid flats to connect remote points like Sevenmile Point. To the south, high points such as Mustang Hill and Black Mtn provide vertical relief against the expansive northern Nevada horizon. The map reflects a modern inventory of this ranching and mining country, where the placement of individual wells and roads provides essential context for understanding the sparse settlement patterns and land use of the region.
