2018 Map of Buckwheat Rim

About this map

Hot Creek Valley defines the western expanse of this high-desert landscape in Nye County, where the seasonal waters of Hot Cr thread across the valley floor. The geography is dominated by the sharp elevation gains of the Pancake Range to the east, culminating in landmarks like Buckskin Point and the namesake Buckwheat Rim. The structural geology of the region is evident in features such as Palisade Mesa and the winding Monocline Canyon. Human presence is represented primarily by the Twin Springs Ranch Rd, which serves as the principal corridor through this arid basin, connecting the isolated ranching interests and grazing lands that characterize this part of Nevada.
