2014 Map of West of Coffin Mountain

About this map

Iron Mine Rd cuts across the northern reaches of this Eureka County landscape, signaling the area's industrial ties to the mineral extraction history of the Great Basin. The topography is defined by a series of drainage networks that flow toward Pine Valley to the east, including Big Pole Cr and Little Pole Cr. These intermittent and perennial streams create a distinct hydrologic pattern across the public land survey townships, which are meticulously gridded into sections. The presence of Box Springs highlights the critical importance of isolated water sources in this high-desert environment. To the southeast, smaller drainages such as Hot Cr, Pony Cr, and Dry Cr carve into the terrain, illustrating the complex watershed that eventually feeds into Pine Cr.
