About this map

Tippett Canyon and Mormon Canyon cut through this high-elevation landscape in White Pine County, where water is the primary driver of naming and settlement. This 2012 survey reveals a complex network of springs, including Coyote Spring, Middle Sanford Spring, and Blind Spring, which supported the livestock and ranching activities that define the region. The infrastructure for managing this scarce resource is anchored by the Sanford Reservoir in the east.

Transportation through the basin and range terrain follows natural corridors such as Cedar Pass, while Ibapah Rd and Pleasant Valley Rd provide the main access across the desert flats. Notable landmarks like Dutchman Summit and Crested Wheat Patch mark the varied topography, providing essential waypoints for land management. The presence of Moffitt Flat and various washes indicates a landscape shaped by intermittent water flow and seasonal grazing patterns.
