2014 Map of Potts Well

About this map

Toquima Range peaks dominate the western edge of this landscape, descending sharply into the high desert plains of Monitor Valley. This 2014 survey documents a remote corridor of central Nevada where the Toiyabe National Forest boundary meets expansive public lands. The map traces essential water sources and transit routes through this arid basin, including Stoneberger Cr and the namesake Potts Well located in the southern reaches. The road network is defined by long-distance tracks such as Grimes Ranch Rd and Belmont Rd, which connect isolated ranching outposts and grazing lands. These routes, along with Forest Service road Nf-004, follow the natural contours of the valley floor, illustrating the sparse but critical infrastructure required for land management and ranching in the Great Basin.
