2014 Map of Diamond Canyon

About this map

The Stillwater Range dominates this portion of Churchill County, Nevada, where steep elevation changes define a landscape shaped by seasonal water flow and remote desert terrain. This 2014 survey captures a network of ephemeral drainages, including Diamond Cr and Diamond Canyon, which feed into the Diamond Canyon Reservoir. The presence of Mud Hole Spring in the northeast corner highlights the critical importance of isolated water sources in this arid environment. Navigation through the complex topography is primarily facilitated by Mountain Wells Rd, which winds through the eastern canyons. The map provides a detailed view of several distinct landforms, such as Mud Hole Canyon, Ripley Canyon, and Sheep Canyon, illustrating the varied physical geography that characterizes this high-desert region.
