2012 Map of Potts Well

About this map

Stoneberger Cr carves a path through this high-desert landscape in Lander County, marking a primary drainage route between the towering Toiyabe Range and the Grimes Hills. The topography here reflects the characteristic basin and range structure of central Nevada, where water management is critical for the sparse ranching activity present. Near the junction of several remote routes, Potts Well serves as a vital geographic anchor in a region where reliable water sources have historically dictated the placement of livestock trails and early road networks. The layout of Grimes Ranch Rd and Belmont Rd reveals the persistent utility of these primitive corridors, which connect isolated homesteads and grazing lands across the vast alluvial plains and foothills.
