2021 Map of Red Ledges

About this map

Humboldt National Forest dominates the northern high ground of this topographic survey, where drainage systems like Murphy Wash and Johns Wash carve through the arid terrain. The map captures the boundary between White Pine County and Lincoln County, illustrating how political borders intersect with the physical geography of Spring Valley. Transport through this section of the Great Basin relies on a network of unpaved tracks, including Natl Forest Develop Road 597 Rd and Big Springs Rd, which provide access to the foothills and canyons. The namesake Red Ledges formations appear in the southeastern quadrant, highlighting a landscape defined by significant elevation changes and seasonal watercourses such as West Fork Canyon.
