2023 Map of Big Sawmill Canyon
USGS Topo · Published 2023About this map
Smoke Creek Valley Opening defines the central topography of this Great Basin landscape, where the high desert terrain of Washoe County is marked by a complex network of seasonal water sources and steep canyons. The drainage patterns are anchored by Deep Hole Spring Creek and Clear Creek, while several isolated upland springs, including Antelope Spring and Trail Canyon Spring Number One, suggest the historical importance of reliable water in this arid environment. Significant vertical relief is provided by Granite Mountain and Poodle Mountain, framing the broad Big Sawmill Basin. Remote infrastructure is minimal, represented primarily by S R 447 and the Wood Road Reservoirs, which illustrate the region's long-standing reliance on managed water for ranching or land management in the shadow of the Rainbow Hills.
