Spruce Mountain rises as the central landmark of this Elko County landscape, serving as a hub for a network of springs and drainage systems that define the area's hydrology. The settlement of Sprucemont is situated on the western slopes, accompanied by a Po which suggests a historical role as a focal point for local mining or ranching activities. This 2012 survey illustrates the reliance on vital water sources in an arid environment, from the clustered Bosco Spring Number One, Bosco Spring Number Two, and Basco Spring in the south to Upper Latham Spring in the north.
