2014 Map of Black Warrior Peak

About this map

Black Warrior Peak dominates the high-elevation terrain where the Truckee Range meets the Nightingale Mountains. This 2014 survey captures a sparsely populated region of the high desert along the border of Washoe and Churchill counties. Water sources are rare and vital in this landscape, represented by Coyote Spring near Coyote Canyon and the namesake Black Warrior Spring on the western slopes. The map also delineates drainage patterns through the Sage Hen Valley via Sage Hen Wash, illustrating the arid geography of the Great Basin. While few structures are noted, the presence of Sagehen Creek Rd provides the primary access through this high-altitude wilderness.
