1986 Map of Spring Mountain

About this map

Spring Mountain stands as a central landmark in this high-desert landscape, situated along the interior border where the Nevada-Utah state line meets the boundary of White Pine and Millard counties. The area is defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and topographic landmarks, including the prominent Petes Knoll and the narrow passage of Devils Gate. Water, though often ephemeral, has carved significant paths through the terrain, evidenced by the presence of Indian George Wash and Marble Wash. A subtle north-south movement is suggested by the alignment of Swan Canyon and the headwaters of Warm Springs Creek, revealing a landscape where topography dictated the routes of early travel across the Great Basin. This 1980s field-checked survey captures the precise elevation data and natural features of this remote interstate corridor before more modern developments altered the character of the borderlands.
