2011 Map of Coal Canyon

About this map

The West Humboldt Range dominates this Pershing County landscape, defined by high-elevation drainage systems and isolated water sources. As recorded in 2011, the area is characterized by deep topographical relief and significant natural features such as Muttlebury Canyon and Coal Canyon. A single primary route, Coal Canyon Rd, provides access into the interior, tracing the floor of its namesake canyon in the northwest. The presence of Muckleberry Spring indicates a vital perennial water source in an otherwise arid environment, while Packard Wash serves as a major drainage in the southeast. This survey reflects the sparse, utilitarian nature of the high desert, where naming conventions are strictly tied to the terrain and its few accessible landmarks.
