2021 Map of Pot Spring

About this map

Long Valley Wash carves through this high-elevation basin in eastern Nevada, marking a landscape defined by seasonal water flow and stark relief. The boundary between Elko and White Pine counties cuts across the northern edge of this territory, where the terrain rises toward the southern reaches of the Butte Mountains. Within this arid expanse, the presence of Pot Spring and White Rock Spring suggests critical watering points that have historically dictated movement and land use in an area otherwise dominated by the broad, open reach of Long Valley. The map details the transition from the level floor of the wash to the steep, rising contours of Hamilton Butte, offering a clear view of the topographic isolation and hydraulic features that characterize this portion of the Great Basin.
