About this map

Cold Springs and the surrounding desert basins of northern Nevada define this landscape at the edge of the Toiyabe National Forest. The map documents a complex network of suburban expansion and infrastructure reaching into the high desert, centered around Cold Spring Valley and the residential clusters of Lemmon Valley. The transition from the steep slopes of Petersen Mtn and Peavine Mountain to the flat alkali flats and seasonal waters of Silver Lake and Dry Lake Summit reveals the geologic constraints on regional development.

Aviation and transit are central to the area's identity, with both the Reno/Stead Airport and the smaller H Bar H Airport situated among the scrubland. Named settlements like Border Town and Copperfield suggest the intersection of historic mining or ranching roots with modern logistical hubs. The detailed road network, from Red Rock Rd to the winding residential streets of Village Pkwy, illustrates how recent growth has reshaped the basins once dominated by the Granite Hills.
