2015 Map of Spring Creek

About this map

The Little Humboldt River meanders across this northern Nevada landscape, defining the hydrology of the Eden Valley and surrounding basins. This topographic study captures the high-desert transition between the eastern slopes of the Hot Springs Range and the Ararat Hills to the northeast. While largely dominated by natural drainage patterns like Spring Cr and Eden Cr, the map records the sparse network of rural roads that serve the region's ranching and land-management needs, including Edam Valley Rd and N Fork Rd. The survey illustrates the section-line geometry of the Public Land Survey System, which imposes a rigid grid over the fluid paths of the river and its seasonal tributaries in the high Great Basin.
