1999 Map of Salt Water Spring

About this map

Salt Water Spring and the Black Rock desert floor dominate this northern Nevada landscape, where the flat alkaline basin meets the rising slopes of the Jackson Mountains. The terrain is characterized by its isolation and the critical presence of water sources such as Hot Spring and Butte Spring, which were vital for survival in this arid region. The map reveals a land utilized for both seasonal livestock operations and mineral exploration, evidenced by the presence of Winter Camp and a remote Prospect located near the southern reaches of the mountains.
