About this map

Caliente serves as the focal point of this landscape, situated at the confluence where Meadow Valley Wash meets the opening of Clover Creek Canyon. This 2018 survey reveals the community's established infrastructure, including the Caliente City Cem and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem, alongside the historic Caliente Hot Springs. To the south, the settlement of Etna sits along the wash, positioned between the steep walls of Buckboard Canyon and Hardy Canyon.

The surrounding terrain is defined by a complex network of drainages and peaks, from Baldy Mtn to the eastern Clover Mountains. Water sources such as Conaway Reservoir and Culverwell Reservoir highlight the management of this arid environment. Significant local history is preserved in the names of numerous canyons, including Taylor Mine Canyon and Chokecherry Canyon, which point to the region's historical reliance on mineral extraction and natural spring sites like Log Trough Spring.
