2015 Map of Spring Valley Summit

About this map

Spring Valley Summit serves as a central landmark in this high-desert landscape of Eureka County, where the Mountain Boy Range and Fish Creek Range converge. The topography is defined by significant elevation changes, from the depths of Robinson Canyon and Dougherty Canyon to the heights of Atrypa Peak and Prospect Peak. Water sources are critical but scarce features in this environment, represented by Josephine Spring, McCulloughs Spring, and the seasonal catchment of Dry Lake within Stevens Basin. A network of backcountry roads, including McCullough Springs Rd and Spring Valley Rd, provides access to the various canyons and peaks that dominate the terrain, reflecting the area's history of remote land use and surveying.
