2018 Map of Warm Springs

About this map

Warm Springs serves as a lone point of habitation at the junction of Highway 6 and Highway 375, situated where the desert basins of central Nevada converge. This high-desert landscape is defined by the hydrologic contrast of the Hot Spring near the settlement and the dry expanses of Hot Creek Valley and Reveille Valley. The terrain is marked by the transition between these open valleys and the more broken ground of Cow Canyon to the south. The mapping reveals a sparse infrastructure, typical of the remote Great Basin, where transportation routes follow the natural corridors between arid basins. This survey provides a precise view of the geographic isolation and the critical importance of water sources in a region dominated by vast open ranges and section line boundaries.
