2014 Map of Coal Canyon

About this map

The West Humboldt Range dominates this portion of Pershing County, where high ridges and deep canyons define the arid landscape. The map records several notable drainage and water features that are vital in this high-desert environment, including the isolated Muckleberry Spring located in the western foothills. The rugged topography is further carved by Coal Canyon and Muttlebury Canyon, which drain the eastern slopes toward the Packard Wash. These features reflect a classic Great Basin geological profile, characterized by steep elevation changes and ephemeral water sources that have historically influenced movement and settlement in this part of Nevada. While largely undeveloped, the township and range lines indicate a structured grid system overlying the complex natural terrain, including boundaries for t27n r33e and t26n r32e.
