2021 Map of Diamond Canyon

About this map

The Stillwater Range dominates this landscape in Churchill County, where high-desert drainages carve through steep topographic relief. The hydrological character of the region is defined by ephemeral systems like Diamond Cr, which flows through Diamond Canyon toward the Diamond Canyon Reservoir in the central part of the quadrangle. These water features were essential for supporting livestock and early travel in this arid environment. Further north, isolated water sources such as Mud Hole Spring are found within the rugged draws of Mud Hole Canyon. The map reveals a land divided by the Public Land Survey System, showing the intersections of T19N, T18N, R31E, and R32E, a grid that underlies the ranching and resource history of this part of Nevada.
