2018 Map of Diamond Canyon

About this map

The Stillwater Range dominates this portion of Churchill County, where the high desert terrain is punctuated by isolated water sources vital to the local ecology and history. The Diamond Canyon Reservoir and Mud Hole Spring represent the scarce hydrological features of this landscape, serving as critical landmarks in an otherwise arid expanse. Drainage patterns are defined by the winding course of Diamond Cr, which carves through the namesake Diamond Canyon in the southwestern quadrant. This 2018 survey reveals a topography of steep canyons including Mud Hole Canyon and Ripley Canyon, illustrating the complex geological formations of the Great Basin. The map provides a precise layout of the Public Land Survey System grid, showing the intersections of t19n r31e and t18n r32e across the mountainous Divide.
