About this map

Parker Station sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape, positioned where the Cave Valley Wash and Haggerty Wash converge. The topography is defined by the western slopes of the Schell Creek Range, which gives rise to numerous vital water sources including Quartzite Spring, Sagehen Spring, and Wildcat Spring. This 2018 survey illustrates the remote character of the border region where the White Pine and Lincoln County line bisects the valley.

Erosion has carved distinct drainages into the range, creating named features such as Milk Ranch Canyon, Willow Spring Canyon, and Blue Rock Canyon. These canyons, alongside perennial and seasonal flows like Milk Ranch Cr and S Fork Sheep Cr, dictate the movement of roads and historical transit through this arid corridor. The map provides an essential record of the natural landmarks and water infrastructure used by ranchers and travelers in this part of eastern Nevada.
