2018 Map of Arch Canyon

About this map

Lexington Arch stands as a prominent natural landmark within the high-elevation landscape of the Snake Range, where the eastern boundary of Great Basin National Park meets the Humboldt National Forest. This 2018 survey detail highlights a complex network of seasonal drainages and springs that define the local hydrology, including Cedar Cabin Spring, South Spring, and North Spring. The terrain is characterized by deep incisions such as Arch Canyon and Decathon Canyon, which channel snowmelt toward the desert floor. Road development remains sparse, centered primarily on the Black Canyon Rd and Natl Forest Develop Road 468 Rd, reflecting the managed conservation status of these public lands. This map is particularly useful for geologists and backcountry researchers interested in the drainage patterns of Lexington Cr and Chokecherry Cr.
