About this map

Antler Peak dominates this high-desert landscape in Lander County, serving as the namesake for a region defined by steep drainages and isolated outposts. The map reveals the vital importance of water management in this arid environment, evidenced by the Willow Creek Reservoir and the network of intermittent streams like Rock Creek and Cottonwood Creek that carve through the terrain. Human presence is concentrated at the Jory Ranch, illustrating the long-standing ranching traditions that persist in this part of Nevada.

Industrial and natural landmarks are scattered throughout the deep canyons, from the southern reach of Copper Canyon to the northern depressions of Mill Canyon and Trenton Canyon. This 2011 survey documents a land where resource extraction and agriculture intersect with the natural geography of Wild Horse Basin and Timber Canyon, providing a clear view of the road systems and topography used by modern land managers and surveyors.
