2018 Map of Sunshine Well

About this map

Long Valley dominates the northern reaches of this High Desert landscape in White Pine County, where the topography transitions from the broad valley floor into the rising elevations of the White Pine Range. This remote portion of Nevada is characterized by its internal drainage basins and scattered water sources critical to the region's history of livestock grazing and transit. At the heart of the valley sits Sunshine Well, a vital landmark and water point for those navigating the arid Great Basin. The grid of the Public Land Survey System reveals the vast, open nature of this territory, including townships t20n r58e and t19n r58e, where seasonal washes and alluvial fans create a complex network of dry drainage patterns across the terrain.
