2021 Map of Shoshone Meadows

About this map

Shoshone Meadows occupies a high-altitude basin within the Clan Alpine Mountains of central Nevada, a landscape defined by its reliance on isolated water sources. This 2021 survey illustrates a complex network of springs, including Shoshone Springs, Big Shoshone Spring, and Little Shoshone Spring, which have historically served as critical lifelines for livestock and wildlife in this arid environment. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages such as Shoshone Creek Canyon and Mud Spring Canyon, showcasing the erosional forces that shape the Great Basin. While lacking permanent modern settlements, the map details the Public Land Survey System grid across T23N and T22N, providing essential data for land management and identifying family-named landmarks like Hoyt Canyon.
