About this map

Hays Canyon Range and the Home Camp Range define this high-altitude landscape in northwestern Nevada, where topographic contours reveal a complex system of peaks and drainage basins. The area is characterized by essential water sources for ranching and wildlife, including Jack Reservoir, Black Rock Reservoir, and Mahogany Lake. Numerous named springs like Coyote Spring and Chicken Spring dot the terrain, supporting localized grazing areas such as Mare Pasture and Rye Grass Field.

Surface water is managed through features like the Sheep Trough Tank and Mud Spring, reflecting the careful stewardship of this arid environment. Transportation is limited to a few arterial routes such as Hays Canyon Rd and Boulder Reservoir Rd, which connect the remote Boulder Mtn region to larger valleys. This survey captures a moment in the modern management of the high desert, where seasonal meadows like Upper Meadow and Lower Meadow remain vital landmarks in the Great Basin.
