2021 Map of Rock Spring Table

About this map

Rock Spring Table dominates the high desert landscape of Humboldt County, Nevada, in this contemporary survey. The geography is defined by a series of isolated water sources and expansive rangeland, characterized by the Virgin Valley and the Rock Spring Basin. The presence of the Rock Spring Table Reservoir and named basins like Wild Horse Pasture underscores the importance of water management and livestock grazing in this arid environment. Several perennial and seasonal water features are mapped, including Rock Spring, Cottonwood Spring, and Onion Lake. The terrain rises toward the east at Big Mtn and descends toward the Idaho Canyon Range in the southeast corner. This map provides a clear view of the drainage patterns of Sagebrush Cr and Virgin Cr, which carve through the high plateaus and valleys.
