2021 Map of Dead Horse Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Hannan Range anchors this arid Pershing County landscape, where the distribution of water sources dictates the geography of human and animal movement. The map records a series of named water points including Turtle Rock Spring, Scorpion Spring, and Rattlesnake Spring, which have long served as vital landmarks in the high desert. To the north, Rockhill Canyon cuts through the terrain near the distinctively named Elephant Head Rock, while Dead Horse Canyon provides a natural corridor through the central portion of the sheet. The high density of springs such as Five Troughs Springs and Tarantula Spring suggests a landscape where these specific locations were essential for livestock or early travel routes. This survey provides a precise modern look at the remote topography of the Great Basin, capturing the elevations and named natural features that remain central to the region's character.
