2012 Map of Wood Spring Canyon

About this map

Red Mountain and the high desert terrain of the Carico Lake Valley define this Lander County landscape in the early 21st century. The map reveals a reliance on isolated water sources across the arid basin, marked by a dense concentration of named seeps such as Wholey Spring, Goyeneche Spring, and the four distinct outlets of Red Mountain Spring. These hydrology points indicate the historical and contemporary importance of water management for ranching and transit through the Great Basin.
