2018 Map of Twin Springs Slough

About this map

Hot Creek Valley and Reveille Valley dominate this high-desert landscape in central Nye County, where the desert floor is punctuated by vital water sources like Twin Springs and Cane Spring. The hydrology of this arid basin is defined by Twin Springs Slough and the seasonal path of Hot Cr. The topography shifts dramatically as the valley floor rises into the ridges of the Pancake Range to the northeast and the Reveille Range in the south. Notable geological features like Goblin Knobs and the mouth of Echo Canyon provide distinct landmarks in a region largely defined by vast open basins and isolation. The presence of Twin Springs Ranch Rd indicates the sparse but enduring ranching infrastructure essential to this part of the Great Basin.
