2014 Map of The Geysers

About this map

The Geysers and their associated Hot Springs define this high-desert landscape along the border of Lander and Eureka Counties. The terrain is marked by the steep slopes of the Shoshone Range to the northwest and the volcanic features of Malpais further south. This 2014 survey documents the hydrogeology of the region, showing the contrast between the geothermal activity at The Geysers and the Cold Springs found at the base of Crescent Valley. Transport and access are limited to industrial and rural routes like Beowawe Geyser Rd and Transfer Site Rd, which navigate the elevation changes between the Whirlwind Valley and the surrounding peaks. Water management is evident through features like the Westside Ditch and Coyote Cr, reflecting the vital importance of water resources in this arid Nevada environment.
