About this map

The Windermere Hills dominate this high-desert landscape in northeast Nevada, where water sources are the primary indicators of human and livestock movement. Reliable water remains the central theme of the terrain, as evidenced by a concentration of named springs like Prather Springs, Brush Creek Springs, and Thurston Spring which provide life to the drainage networks of Medicine Cr and Cricket Cr. This modern survey reveals how the physical geography, characterized by high points like Black Mtn and the strategic Tripon Pass, continues to dictate the local transit patterns through features such as Sheep Draw and Hunter Draw. The map meticulously records the complex drainage system of the Great Basin, including the upper reaches of Brush Cr and the descriptively named Deathman Cr.
