2014 Map of North Spring Point

About this map

The Schell Creek Range dominates the western portion of this high-desert landscape in White Pine County, Nevada. To the east, the terrain descends into the broad expanse of Spring Valley, a classic Great Basin formation where drainage is defined by ephemeral features such as John Henry Wash. The geographic transition is marked by North Spring Point, a prominent landform overlooking the valley floor. Transportation through this part of the state relies on the long north-south corridor of US Route 93, which parallels the base of the mountains. Local access is represented by the remote Highline Rd, while the presence of Basin Spring highlights the critical importance of water sources in this arid environment, supporting the intermittent ranching and grazing operations typical of the region's public land survey system.
