2012 Map of Arch Canyon

About this map

Lexington Arch and the surrounding wilderness of White Pine County define this high-altitude landscape. The map centers on the dramatic erosional features of Arch Canyon and Black Canyon, where intricate drainage systems such as Lexington Creek and the South Fork Lexington Creek have carved deep into the terrain. Remote springs provide critical water points in this arid environment, including Cedar Cabin Spring, North Spring, and South Spring. The infrastructure is sparse, limited primarily to primitive routes like Lexington Creek Rd and NFD 468 Rd, which navigate the complex canyons and washes. This 2012 survey illustrates a landscape dominated by natural geology and seasonal water flow, as seen in the extensive reaches of Big Spring Wash and Chokecherry Creek.
