2011 Map of Crutcher Canyon

About this map

Old Camp anchors the northern reaches of this high-desert landscape in Washoe County, where seasonal drainages and scattered springs define the movement of water through the terrain. The map details a complex network of canyons and basins, including Crutcher Canyon, Lone Juniper Canyon, and the distinct depression of Dolly Varden Basin. Named water sources like Supply Camp Spring and Crutcher Springs suggest a history of human and livestock reliance on these isolated points within the drainage systems of Red Mountain Creek and Duck Flat Wash. The presence of Upper Post Corral Spring and Lower Post Corral Spring further indicates the area's utility for ranching or pastoral management. Two primary primitive routes, Old Camp Canyon Rd and Lone Juniper Canyon Rd, provide the only significant access into this arid interior.
