2021 Map of Wilkins

About this map

Thousand Springs Valley serves as the dominant geographic feature of this northeastern Nevada landscape, where the small settlement of Wilkins sits along the eastern edge. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of numerous seasonal watercourses, including Thousand Springs Cr, Loomis Cr, and Cold Springs Cr, which cut through the high-elevation basin. These riparian corridors historically provided critical water sources in an otherwise arid environment, influencing the placement of early ranching outposts and transportation routes.
