2021 Map of Twin Buttes Well

About this map

Kumiva Valley dominates this Pershing County landscape, positioned between the striking elevations of the Hannan Range to the northeast and the Blue Wing Mountains to the south. This 2021 survey documents the complex drainage patterns of the high desert, where seasonal watercourses like Missouri Cr and Betty Cr transition from mountain slopes into the valley floor. The map serves as a detailed record of remote basin-and-range topography, illustrating the stark relief and isolated water sources like Black Mountain Spring. Accessibility is limited primarily to State Hwy 399, which cuts across the southeastern corner of the quadrangle. This modern survey provides an essential topographic baseline for understanding the hydrologic and geological character of this arid interior region of Nevada.
