2012 Map of Sunshine Well NW

About this map

Long Valley defines the arid character of this high-desert landscape in White Pine County. The basin is marked by a network of unimproved roads and four-wheel-drive tracks that connect essential water sources across the sagebrush-dominated terrain. These points of interest, such as Shallow Well and Long Valley Well Number 1, indicate the infrastructure required for ranching or resource management in this part of Nevada. The hydrography of the region is characterized by ephemeral features, including Dry Lake Well Number 2 and Long Valley Well Number 2, which are situated near the dry lake beds that form during the wet season. This 2012 survey illustrates the sparse, functional layout of the land, where named locations are almost exclusively tied to vital water access points.
