2012 Map of Brewer Canyon

About this map

Washington sits along the southwestern reaches of this Nye County landscape, where Washington Creek flows near the Washington Creek Trailhead. The topography is defined by a series of deep drainages, including Brewer Canyon, Porter Canyon, and Crane Canyon, which channel seasonal water from high peaks such as Bunker Hill. In the northeast, the presence of the Kingston Canyon Dam on Kingston Creek forms Groves Lake, a key water feature in this arid environment. This area reflects a long-standing ranching and outdoor heritage, anchored by locations like the Daniel Ranch and Daniels. Moving south and east, the map details numerous named waterways such as Knox Creek, Clear Creek, and Cottonwood Creek, alongside the Kingston Campground, illustrating the transition from ranching operations to modern recreational access in the Toiyabe region.
