2015 Map of Twin Buttes Well
USGS Topo · Published 2015About this map
Blue Wing Mountains dominate the southeastern portion of this Pershing County landscape, where the high desert terrain transitions into the alluvial fans of the Great Basin. This area is defined by its scarce water sources, notably the Twin Buttes Well and the remote Black Mountain Spring, which have historically served as critical landmarks for navigation and survival in this arid environment. The presence of Missouri Cr and the reaching drainage patterns across the valley floor illustrate the intermittent hydrology of the region. State Hwy 399 provides the primary transit corridor through this sparsely populated corner of Nevada, connecting the isolated geographic features and historic range lands that define the local character of the high desert.
