2012 Map of Sunshine Well

About this map

Long Valley stretches across this portion of eastern Nevada, defining a landscape shaped by intermittent water sources and high-desert terrain. In this remote corner of White Pine County, survival and land use are marked by the presence of vital water points like Moore Well in the north and the uniquely named Maple Syrup Well to the south. These isolated landmarks serve as the primary navigational and logistical anchors for a region characterized by vast open spaces and minimal infrastructure. The presence of Sunshine Well and J and J Well suggests the historical importance of groundwater access for ranching or local transit in an otherwise arid environment. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise record of these scattered water features and the network of local roads that connect them.
