About this map

Wells serves as a vital Nevada crossroads where the high desert meets the northern reach of the Wood Hills. This 2018 survey documents the city's modern layout, centered around the junction of major transit corridors and the historic Cobre rail line. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Humboldt River and the nearby Humboldt Wells, which have historically provided essential water in this arid basin. To the north, Town Creek Flat spreads across the valley floor, while the Wells Municipal Airport/Harriet Field marks the northeastern edge of the settlement.

Local history is grounded in the Wells City Cem and the surrounding agricultural expanse of Clover Valley. The map detail traces the transition from the organized street grid of Wells, with residential roads like Mountain View Dr and Hacienda Ranch Rd, into the vast township-and-range divisions. Resources like the Wells City Water Reservoir and Railroad Spring highlight the critical management of water that sustains this high-altitude community.
