2021 Map of White Rock Creek

About this map

The Egan Range rises sharply above the eastern expanse of Steptoe Valley, creating a landscape defined by its vital water sources and drainage patterns. This high-desert environment is punctuated by numerous named springs that historically sustained livestock and transit through this part of White Pine County. Water features like Little White Rock Spring, East Willow Spring, and Sawmill Spring dot the western slopes, while the White Rock Cr and Cattle Camp Wash carve paths through the alluvial fans. The presence of White Pine Co Road 45 serves as the primary north-south artery through the valley, linking the remote canyons such as Bosque Canyon to the broader regional network. The concentration of springs along the mountain front illustrates the critical relationship between high-elevation snowmelt and the agricultural or ranching potential of the valley floor.
