1990 Map of Wells Station

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Horse Range and the Grant Range converge in this high-elevation corner of Nye County, Nevada. The landscape is defined by its isolation and limited water sources, such as Albert Spring and Upper Perish Spring. The namesake Wells Station sits at a strategic point in the terrain, with Wells Station Summit marking the high pass nearby. These names suggest a legacy of travel and stopping points in a demanding environment. Remote access is limited to 4wd tracks that thread through the canyons and up to The Cove in the northeast. This 1990 provisional edition, based on field work from the late 1980s, documents the topographic reality of this high desert terrain before more modern digital updates.
