2021 Map of Spruce Mountain

About this map

Spruce Mtn dominates this Elko County landscape, serving as the high point for a network of drainages and critical water sources in the high desert. The small settlement of Sprucemont sits on the western slopes, connected by a series of Bureau of Land Management routes including BLM RD 1527 and BLM RD 1526. The map is particularly notable for its high density of named springs, which were essential for early mining and ranching operations in this arid region. From Townsite Spring near the settlement to the high-elevation Upper Latham Spring, these water features dictate the human footprint on the land. To the south, a cluster of watering points including Bosco Spring Number One, Bosco Spring Number Two, and Basco Spring highlight the importance of these sites for livestock and survival in the eastern Nevada wilderness.
