2021 Map of Trego Hot Springs

About this map

Trego Hot Springs sits at the edge of the expansive Black Rock Desert, a key landmark in this arid portion of Pershing County. The landscape is defined by the stark transition between the flat, alkaline playa and the rising elevation of Pahsupp Mtn to the southeast. Historically significant for travelers in the Great Basin, the thermal activity at Hot Springs provided a critical, if high-temperature, water source along a difficult route. Movement through this remote terrain follows Jungo Rd, which traces the base of the mountains along the edge of the desert floor. The map highlights the sparse nature of infrastructure in this region, where survival was tied directly to these rare geothermal and topographic features.
