2014 Map of Sheep Spring

About this map

Sheephead Mountains dominate this high-desert terrain in Nevada's Great Basin, as documented in 2014. The landscape is defined by its arid hydrology and complex geologic formations, most notably the seasonal flow of Lava Beds Cr which cuts through the volcanic basin floors. A singular water source, Sheep Spring, provides a vital point of interest for those tracking historical land use and animal migration patterns in this remote region. This map illustrates the intersection of Public Land Survey System township and range lines, such as t33n r27e and t32n r28e, over a landscape where reliable water and topography dictated the routes of early travelers and surveyors alike.
