{{Geobox|Water divide}} Indian Springs Pass, is a mountain pass 40-mi (64 km)[1] northwest of Las Vegas in northwest Clark County, Nevada.
The pass is in a region of converging landforms of various watersheds, valleys, and mountain ranges; specifically it lies on the north perimeter of the Ivanpah-Pahrump Watershed-(Pahrump Valley). The endorheic Indian Springs Valley[2] watershed lies due north, and the endorheic Three Lakes Valley is adjacent east.
Indian Springs Pass is located near the northeast corner of the Great Basin Divide of southeast Nevada. The Divide turns from a west-to-east section, to a south-trending section into the massif of the Spring Mountains, west of Las Vegas.
