2011 Map of Sage Hen Spring

About this map

Nightingale occupies a small corner of this arid landscape in Pershing County, situated near the western edge of the valley floor. The settlement is positioned along a network of local roads that navigate the vast alluvial fans and dry watercourses typical of the high desert. Water management is a central theme of this terrain, anchored by Sage Hen Spring and the nearby Lintons Well, which serve as vital points in an otherwise thirsty environment. The expansive Sage Hen Valley is the dominant topographic feature, defined by the intricate drainage patterns of the Sage Hen Wash. This 2011 survey reflects the enduring character of Nevada’s interior, where isolated springs and wells continue to dictate the placement of human activity and transportation routes across the open range.
