2014 Map of Cow Canyon

About this map

The Clan Alpine Mountains dominate the southern portion of this Churchill County landscape, characterized by complex drainage patterns and steep elevation changes. This 2014 survey captures a section of the Great Basin where narrow corridors like Deep Canyon and Cow Canyon cut through the high desert terrain. To the northwest, the land descends into the floor of Dixie Valley, a notable geographic sink where seasonal runoff from Willow Cr and drainage from Granite Canyon terminates. The map provides a clear look at the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) grid, documenting the boundaries of several townships including t21n r36e and t22n r36e. This transition from high peaks to valley floor illustrates the classic basin and range topography typical of central Nevada.
