2018 Map of Vigus Butte NE

About this map

Alex Canyon and Bernd Canyon dominate the high-elevation terrain of this Lander County landscape, where water sources are vital landmarks in an arid environment. The map highlights a series of isolated water points, including Alex Spring, China Spring, and Cornin Spring, which historically served as essential stops for travel and livestock in the high desert. The drainage system is defined by the Silver Cr and its northern branch, the N Fork Silver Cr, alongside Italian Cr to the south. This 2018 survey reveals the persistent importance of named springs and seasonal creek beds in defining the geography and navigation of central Nevada's mountain ranges.
