2011 Map of Simpson Springs

About this map

Simpson Springs serves as a focal point for this landscape at the edge of the Simpson Mountains. The area is defined by a sparse but essential network of desert infrastructure, including the Bureau of Land Management Campground, the Simpson Springs Campground, and the historical site of the CCC Campsite. These features suggest a region shaped by early 20th-century public works and ongoing federal land management. A series of long-distance desert routes, such as Simpson Springs-Callao Rd and Simpson Springs-Death Canyon Rd, converge here, marking the area as a critical junction for travel through the Great Basin. The terrain is characterized by the seasonal drainage of Government Creek and prominent landmarks like Simpson Buttes and Grassy Mountain.
