About this map

The Schell Creek Range dominates the western half of this Nevada landscape, where high-altitude drainage systems like Garrett Canyon and Stage Canyon descend toward the valley floor. Within the Humboldt National Forest, a network of trails and rugged roads, including the N Mud Springs Draw Trail and S Mud Springs Trail, provides access to remote landmarks such as Siegel Basin.

Hydrology is the defining feature of the eastern basin, where the expansive Spring Valley receives seasonal runoff from Spring Valley Cr and Spring Gulch. For local historians and geographers, the map documents a series of critical water sources essential for survival in the Great Basin, from Garden Springs and Golden Springs to the isolated Crystal Spring. This topography illustrates the stark transition from the timbered heights of the national forest to the arid, spring-fed flats of the valley floor.
