2018 Map of Sheep Spring

About this map

Sheephead Mountains dominate the southern portion of this high-desert landscape in Pershing County, where the terrain rises sharply from the surrounding basins. This 2018 survey documents a largely undeveloped region defined by complex natural drainage patterns and the isolated water sources essential for survival in this arid environment. The intermittent course of Lava Beds Cr cuts through the western sections, while the namesake Sheep Spring provides a vital point of interest on the eastern slopes of the mountain range. This map reveals a rugged land partitioned by the Public Land Survey System, including t33n r27e, which outlines the cadastral history of Nevada's remote interior. The absence of modern roads or settlements highlights the topographic continuity of this high-altitude terrain, preserving the same physical characteristics encountered by early surveyors and ranching interests in the Great Basin.
