2012 Map of Silver King Well

About this map

Silver King marks the central point of interest in this high-desert landscape, where the scarcity of water dictated the locations of every outpost and waypoint. This 2012 survey documents a network of critical water sources, including Trough Spring and Horse Spring to the north, which sustained travelers and livestock across the arid terrain. The presence of the Silver King Well and Wolf Hole Spring highlights the essential infrastructure of this Nevada cattle and mining region, showing how remote sites remained anchored to these reliable springs. The map’s road network connects these points, illustrating the modern utility of historic paths that have long linked Perry Spring to the broader desert floor.
