2012 Map of Third Butte East

About this map

O'Neal Peak and a series of distinct buttes define the high-elevation landscape of White Pine County in this 2012 survey. The topography is dominated by a succession of peaks including First Butte, Second Butte, and Third Butte, which rise above the surrounding terrain and drain into numerous intermittent washes and canyons. Water sources are critical landmarks in this arid environment, marked by isolated points such as Ptomaine Springs, Cottonwood Springs, and Marble Spring. Human presence is concentrated in the southern portion of the quadrangle, where 8 Mile Canyon Rd provides access through the canyon system near Eldridge Ranch. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns of Eightmile Canyon and Dry Canyon, illustrating how the seasonal hydrology of the Snake Range foothills shapes the local geography and ranching potential.
