2021 Map of North Spring Point

About this map

The Schell Creek Range dominates the western portion of this terrain, where steep slopes descend toward the expansive Spring Valley to the east. Water sources in this arid landscape are clearly marked, including Basin Spring and the ephemeral drainage of John Henry Wash, which cuts across the central flats. Named landmarks like North Spring Point provide specific geographic anchors within the vast basin-and-range geography. The road network is sparse, defined primarily by Shoshone Rd and Highline Rd, reflecting a landscape managed for ranching or transit rather than dense settlement. This U.S. Geological Survey topographic record captures the area's physical characteristics, showing the relationship between the high ridge lines and the lower valley floors common in this part of Nevada.
