About this map

White River Valley defines the western reaches of this Lincoln County survey, where the landscape transitions into the high-elevation terrain of the Egan Range. Central to the area is Shingle Pass, a natural crossing point that has long dictated movement through these mountains. The presence of Shingle Pass RD follows this geographic corridor, connecting the broad valley to the rugged peaks.

Water sources are the primary indicators of human activity and survival in this arid environment, represented by a series of named springs tucked into the canyons. From Silver Springs in the west to Big Spring and the curiously named Little Geyser Spring further east, these reliable points of hydrography define the local geography. To the south, Shingle Peak stands as a prominent landmark overlooking Sawmill Canyon, suggesting the historical importance of timber or industrial access in this remote portion of Nevada.
