About this map

Cold Springs and the nearby community of Border Town anchor this high-desert landscape in northwestern Nevada, positioned along the edge of Cold Spring Valley. The area is defined by its dramatic topographic shifts, rising from the basin floor of White Lake to the prominent peaks of Petersen Mountain and Peavine Mountain. To the south, the boundary of the Toiyabe National Forest indicates the transition into protected wilderness.

Aviation infrastructure is central to the local economy, marked by the presence of H Bar H Airport and the larger Reno/Stead Airport to the east. The map captures the suburban expansion of Reno into the Lemmon Valley, with a dense network of residential streets such as Silver Knolls Blvd and Moya Blvd contrasting with the industrial zones at Industry Cir. In the lower elevations, the intermittent waters of Silver Lake and the Dry Lake Summit reflect the arid character of this Basin and Range territory.
