About this map

Tognini Mountains and the Maverick Springs Range dominate this high-desert landscape in eastern Nevada. This topographic survey focuses on a series of vital water sources that define the area's geography, including Tognini Spring, Blue Jay Spring, and Twin Springs. These features are connected by the winding White Pine Co Road 3, which traverses the valleys and passes that have long guided travel through this region of the Great Basin.

Evidence of the local geography's role in movement is found at Hobson Pass, a natural corridor between the northern Ruby Valley and the southern Mooney Basin. The map captures the isolation and structural importance of these canyons, such as Burn Canyon and Mahoney Canyon, where the availability of water at Jupresti Spring or Willow Spring dictates the utility of the land. For researchers, it offers a detailed look at the drainage patterns and spring locations that have supported ranching and transit through Long Valley.
