2015 Map of Third Butte West

About this map

Spring Valley in White Pine County is defined by a sparse high-desert drainage system, dominated by the long course of Spring Valley Cr as it flows north through the basin. This 2015 survey illustrates the modern layout of the Public Land Survey System, with the terrain rising toward the eastern edge of the quadrangle at Third Butte. The map reflects a landscape primarily dedicated to open range and watershed management, where the only significant thoroughfare is the north-south route of CR-37. Smaller drainages like Gordon Cr feed into the valley from the western hills, illustrating the hydrology of this interior drainage basin. The map serves as a clear record of the intersection between established township boundaries, such as t19n r67e, and the natural geography of the Nevada desert.
