2011 Map of Vigus Butte NE

USGS Topo · Published 2011

About this map

Caton Ranch and Silver Creek Ranch anchor this high-desert landscape in Lander County, showing the persistent presence of agricultural outposts in an arid environment. The map details a complex network of intermittent water sources essential for survival and livestock, including China Spring, Alex Spring, and Cornin Spring. These water points correlate with the relief of Alex Canyon, which guides the drainage toward larger systems. The drainages of Silver Creek, the North Fork Silver Creek, and Italian Creek define the topographical flow of the region. This 2011 survey documents the location of specific ranching infrastructure and natural springs that have historically dictated human movement and settlement patterns in this part of Nevada.
