About this map

The Simpson Park Mountains dominate this high-elevation landscape in Central Nevada, defined by sharp drainage systems and varying elevations. The primary drainage of Ackerman Canyon cuts through the eastern portion of the survey, while Water Canyon and Cow Canyon carve through the central ridges. These canyons form a complex network of seasonal watercourses, including Water Canyon Cr and the N Fork Steiner Cr, which flow toward the lower basins.

Transportation through this isolated terrain is largely limited to the Dry Creek Rd, which skirts the southern foothills near Dry Cr. The map illustrates a strictly rural environment where land use is dictated by the steep topography of the Simpson Park range. This 2014 survey serves as a precise record of the natural hydrology and land divisions within Lander County, showing the intricate contouring of the peaks and the paths of the few existing mountain access routes.
