2018 Map of Ackerman Canyon

About this map

The Simpson Park Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape in central Nevada, defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and named canyons. This 2018 survey illustrates the varied topography of the range, where the steep terrain gives way to the prominent Ackerman Canyon in the east and the branching system of Water Canyon. The presence of Dickenson Spring in the northeast corner and the course of Water Canyon Cr highlight the scarce but vital water sources in this arid environment. Transportation through the area is limited to rugged paths like Dry Creek Rd, which skirts the southern foothills near Dry Cr. The map provides a precise view of the Public Land Survey System boundaries, including t20n r47e, as they intersect these natural features.
