2014 Map of Sou Hot Springs

About this map

Sou Hot Springs and Seven Devils Springs punctuate the arid landscape of the Sou Hills in this 2014 survey. The topography is defined by the significant elevation of the hills to the northwest, dropping away toward the drainage of Jersey Valley Wash. This area of Churchill and Pershing counties is marked by its reliance on intermittent water sources like Spring Cr and the access provided by long desert corridors such as Dixie Valley Rd and Jersey Valley Rd. The map illustrates the characteristic basin-and-range geography of Nevada, where Sou Canyon carves through the uplands before opening into the wider valley floor. The placement of these springs and the primary road network reflect the essential routes through the Great Basin terrain.
