2018 Map of Dead Horse Canyon NE

About this map

Sheephead Mountains dominate the western edge of this Pershing County landscape, where steep contour lines reveal the abrupt elevation changes characteristic of the Great Basin. This high desert terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of Granite Springs Wash, which cuts a path through the alluvial fans between the peaks and the flatter basins. The map illustrates the Public Land Survey System grid with boundaries for t33n r28e, t33n r29e, t32n r28e, and t32n r29e, highlighting how administrative townships were laid out across this arid topography. The limited human infrastructure in this quadrant suggests a primary use for open-range ranching or conservation, focusing instead on the natural geomorphology of the Nevada interior.
