2014 Map of Cox Canyon

About this map

The Stillwater Range dominates this Churchill County landscape, its steep desert slopes cut by numerous drainage systems including Cox Canyon and Lambing Canyon. To the west, the rugged topography gives way to the vast, arid expanse of the Carson Sink, where the map illustrates the sharp transition from mountainous terrain to the low-lying basin floor. The geography here is defined by water scarcity, evidenced by the scattered but critical water sources such as Jobs Canyon Spring, Mill Spring, and High Rock Spring.
