About this map

The Snake Range defines the southwestern corner of this desert landscape where the state boundary separates White Pine County, Nevada from Millard County, Utah. This interior drainage basin is characterized by a network of seasonal watercourses and notable landforms, including the high point at Spring Mountain and the distinct formation of Petes Knoll. Water resources, though sparse, are marked by Warm Springs and the drainage of Swan Cr, which flows toward the eastern flats.

Transport and passage through the terrain are dictated by natural gaps such as Devils Gate and the winding Devils Gate Canyon. The map records the complex geological and hydrographic features of the Great Basin, including Marble Wash and Indian George Wash, which illustrate the erosion patterns typical of this arid region. This survey serves as a precise record of the public land survey system lines and natural landmarks along the remote interstate border.
