About this map

The Roberts Mountains dominate this central Nevada landscape, rising above a network of canyons and high-desert water sources in Eureka County. The drainage patterns are defined by Coils Cr, which flows through the center of the quadrangle near Meadow Canyon, and Jackass Cr to the north. These seasonal waterways and intermittent springs, such as Jack Spring and East Cottonwood Springs, have long served as vital landmarks in this arid region.

Surface transportation is primarily restricted to unpaved routes like 3 Bars Rd and Gold Bar Rd, which trace the base of the mountains and connect the various canyons. The map details the transition from the steep slopes of Red Canyon and Jackass Canyon to the flatter valley floors, illustrating the topographic isolation of the area. This modern survey reflects the enduring character of a remote ranching and grazing district where land use remains closely tied to the availability of water at features like Rutabaga Spring and Deer Spring.
