2018 Map of Spring Valley Summit

About this map

Spring Valley and the surrounding high-desert ranges of Eureka County are documented here in detail, showcasing a landscape defined by isolated water sources and significant vertical relief. The terrain is structured around the Fish Creek Range and the Mountain Boy Range, where numerous peaks such as Atrypa Peak and Grays Peak rise above the arid floor. The distribution of water is critical in this environment, marked by sites like McCulloughs Spring, Josephine Spring, and the seasonally variable Stevens Basin Dry Lake. These features reflect the long-standing importance of reliable water points for ranching and transit in central Nevada. High-elevation landmarks including Spring Valley Summit and Pinnacle Peak provide clear reference points across the township and range grid, while canyons like Robinson Canyon and Cave Canyon cut through the limestone and volcanic formations that characterize this segment of the Great Basin.
