2012 Map of Weepah Spring

About this map

Weepah Spring sits at the heart of this high-desert basin in Lincoln County, where the landscape is defined by the ephemeral flow of the White River. This 2012 survey by the U. S. Geological Survey documents the subtle hydrography of the region, including the isolated water sources at White Rock Spring. The map captures a sparsely populated interior of Nevada where the orientation of drainage patterns and the presence of these permanent springs were historically vital for transit and livestock in an arid environment. The eastern edge of the quadrangle follows the course of the White River, illustrating the topographical low points that collect the runoff from the surrounding mountain ranges.
