2018 Map of Stewart Spring

About this map

Stewart Valley and the western slopes of the Cedar Mountains define this high-desert landscape in Mineral County. Life in this arid environment revolves around the scarce water sources that dot the terrain, including Stewart Spring, Wildrose Spring, and Poldine Spring. To the south, the flat-topped profile of Table Mtn rises above the alluvial fans. The drainage patterns are clearly etched into the valley floor, with the prominent Finger Rock Wash and Omco Wash carrying seasonal runoff through the basins. This map illustrates the intersection of Township and Range lines such as t9n r36e and t8n r37e, reflecting the systematic surveying of the Nevada interior. The absence of permanent settlements emphasizes the character of the region as a land of transient resources and isolated landmarks used by ranchers and explorers.
