2012 Map of Third Butte West

About this map

Spring Valley Creek serves as the primary hydrological feature in this high-desert basin in eastern Nevada. This 2012 survey depicts the creek’s meandering path through the valley floor, reflecting a landscape defined by intermittent water flow and sparse human infrastructure. Apart from the natural drainage patterns, the area is marked by a skeletal network of rural transit, most notably Co RD 37. The lack of dense settlement or named landmarks underscores the remote character of this Great Basin environment, where topography and drainage remain the dominant features for those studying the region's land use and environmental history.
