2014 Map of Buckwheat Rim

About this map

Hot Creek Valley dominates the western half of this Nevada landscape, where the intermittent drainage of Hot Cr threads through a broad alluvial basin. To the east, the topography shifts abruptly toward the high, structured elevations of the Pancake Range. This 2014 survey documents a classic Great Basin terrain defined by stark vertical relief, including the prominent shelf of Palisade Mesa and the sharp escarpment of Buckwheat Rim. The map provides a clear record of Public Land Survey System boundaries, showing township and range lines across the high desert. Researchers can trace the path of Monocline Canyon as it cuts through the upland formations near Buckskin Point, illustrating the geological complexity of this interior drainage system where water and landform meet in a remote section of Nye County.
