2018 Map of Seven Troughs NW

About this map

The Blue Wing Mountains dominate the southwestern portion of this Pershing County landscape, where the terrain transitions sharply toward the Kumiva Valley to the west. This 2018 survey reveals a territory primarily defined by its physical geography and basic transportation corridors rather than dense settlement. The presence of Heineke Spring in the northwestern corner highlights the importance of isolated water sources in this arid Basin and Range environment. Modern infrastructure is represented by the path of State Hwy 399, which cuts across the central part of the quadrangle, providing the primary access through these high-desert canyons and basins. The land is organized under the Public Land Survey System, with township and range lines like t30n r27e and t30n r28e carving the vast open spaces into a grid for management and mineral exploration.
