About this map

Simon Mtn dominates the high desert landscape of this Nevada quadrangle, where the boundary between Nye and Mineral Counties cuts diagonally across the terrain. This arid region is defined by a series of critical water sources scattered throughout the hills, including Humdinger Spring, Well Spring, and Lou Spring. These springs, alongside the presence of Omco Wash, provide the essential hydrology for a landscape characterized by the Cedar Mountains and the prominent Little Pilot Peak.

A network of local roads and 4WD tracks, such as Poleline RD, navigates the complex topography through points like Cedar Summit. The map details the Township and Range divisions of the Public Land Survey System, illustrating how this remote area is managed across multiple jurisdictions including T9N R37E and T8N R37.5E. The distribution of family-named or colloquially named sites like Storey Spring and Bell Spring suggests a history of cattle ranching or early prospecting in this corner of the Great Basin.
