2011 Map of Trego

About this map

The expansive Black Rock Desert dominates this Nevada landscape, showing the stark transition from the playa floor to the rising elevations of Steamboat Mountain to the northwest. This environment is defined by its scarce but vital water sources, including Lost Spring, Secondhand Spring, and Trego Spring. These points of permanent water served as essential landmarks in a region where the geography is otherwise shaped by the flat, open expanse of the desert sink. The small settlement of Trego is situated along the southern edge of the desert, where transportation routes skirt the margin of the playa. The layout reveals the strategic placement of early infrastructure near reliable water and at the base of the surrounding peaks.
