2021 Map of Vigus Butte NW

About this map

The valley floor and mountain slopes of Lander County are dominated here by the meandering path of the Reese River. This high-desert landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, where seasonal flows like Silver Cr descend from the higher elevations to the east. Near the northwestern corner, the Ravenswood area sits at the base of the foothills, accessible via the Ravenswood road that tracks along the western edge of the valley. A reliable water source in this arid terrain is found at Garden Spring, a critical landmark for local land use and hydrology. The map clearly delineates the Public Land Survey System grid, including townships t22n r42e and t21n r43e, which organize the sparsely populated Great Basin ranching and mining country.
