2015 Map of Weepah Spring

About this map

Weepah Spring serves as a vital water source in this high-desert landscape of Lincoln County, situated between the prominent Seaman Range to the west and the northern reaches of the Pahroc Range to the southeast. The terrain is defined by extreme elevation changes, rising toward the summit of Timber Mtn in the north. This 2015 survey illustrates a sparsely settled region where travel is largely dictated by the primitive Weepah Springs Rd, which snakes through the valleys to connect isolated water points. In the southeastern corner, the ephemeral path of the White River and the presence of White Rock Spring suggest the critical importance of riparian features for survival and navigation in this arid environment, providing a detailed view of the natural hydrology that has shaped land use in eastern Nevada.
