2014 Map of Sunnyside

About this map

White River Valley defines this portion of Nye County, where water and desert topography meet in a network of springs and reservoirs. The settlement of Sunnyside serves as a focal point along the state highway, situated near the confluence of the White River and Sunnyside Cr. The hydrology of the area is particularly noteworthy, featuring the large Adams-McGill Reservoir and Dacey Reservoir to the south, which are essential landmarks for understanding the managed water resources of the Great Basin. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the mountains, marked by Trough Spring Canyon. Local passage through the landscape is facilitated by named routes such as Badger Pass and Wildlife Dr, while Butterfield Springs and Flag Springs provide discrete points of historical and ecological interest in an otherwise arid expanse.
