2021 Map of Big Sawmill Canyon
USGS Topo · Published 2021About this map
Big Sawmill Canyon and the surrounding high basins of northern Nevada define this 2021 land study. The terrain is a network of drainage systems and isolated water sources essential for land management and survival in this arid environment. Significant water features like Big Sawmill Spring, Table Spring, and Antelope Spring are documented alongside man-made infrastructure like the Wood Road Reservoirs. The presence of these named springs suggests a landscape where water rights and cattle grazing are central to the local economy. The area is anchored by Squaw Creek Valley and overlooked by peaks such as Granite Mtn. Modern transit is represented by SR 447, which threads through the canyons, providing a crucial link through this sparsely settled portion of Washoe County.
