2012 Map of Tweedy Wash

About this map

Needle Point Mountain dominates the northern skyline of this arid landscape on the Nevada-Utah border, where intricate drainage patterns define the valley floor. The hydrology of the region is marked by ephemeral channels like Tweedy Wash and Big Spring Wash, which cut through the high desert toward the southwest. Water sources are scarce but critical, centered around North Little Springs and South Little Springs along the western edge of the quadrangle. These springs and the perennial Big Springs Creek suggest historic points of interest for livestock and early travel through this basin-and-range corridor. The presence of Co RD 44 and other secondary tracks highlights a sparse but functional transit network connecting geographic landmarks such as The Pots and The Cove. This survey provides a baseline of the high-elevation desert terrain before more modern developments or shifts in the local water table.
