2014 Map of Cortez Canyon

About this map

Crescent Valley dominates the northern landscape of this Nevada terrain, where the wide basin meets the rising contours of the mountain ranges. The drainage of Cooks Cr flows through the center of the sheet, providing a hydrological artery for this arid region. To the south, the topography grows increasingly complex as the map climbs toward Cortez Canyon and the notable indentation of Copper Canyon. Transportation in this area is defined by the winding path of Cortez Canyon Rd and Cr-222, which trace the natural passages between the peaks. In the northwest, the prominent landmark of Squaw Butte serves as a distinct navigational point overlooking the valley floor. This 2014 survey captures the traditional land divisions of the Public Land Survey System, including t27n r47e and t26n r47e, reflecting the enduring legal framework of the American West.
