1986 Map of Spring Mountain

About this map

The arid borderlands of the Great Basin are defined by the convergence of the White Pine and Millard county lines at the Nevada-Utah state boundary. This mid-1980s survey illustrates a landscape of intermittent drainage and topographical landmarks, centered on the summit of Spring Mountain. The terrain transitions from the steep descent of Devils Gate and Petes Knoll in the west into a network of dry washes and seasonal watercourses. Features like Indian George Wash, Swan Creek, and Marble Wash dominate the eastern slopes, illustrating the complex alluvial patterns characteristic of the region. The presence of Warm Springs near the foot of the mountain suggests a localized hydrothermal influence amidst the surrounding high-desert environment, while the proximity of the state line reflects the administrative divisions of this sparsely settled territory.
