2014 Map of Steptoe

About this map

Steptoe Valley dominates the landscape in this high-desert region of White Pine County, where water management is central to the local geography. The map traces the intermittent flows of First Cr, Second Cr, and Third Cr as they descend toward the basin floor. Key hydrological infrastructure includes the Steptoe Reservoir Number Two and the Dunham McGill Ditch, reflecting the historical and ongoing importance of water rights and irrigation in this arid environment. The small settlement of Steptoe is situated near Duck Cr, while California Canyon Spring provides a vital natural water source in the higher elevations. Transportation is anchored by Old Highway 93 and county routes like CR-27, which follow the traditional corridors through the valley.
