About this map

Division Peak and the high summits of the Division Range dominate this northwestern Nevada landscape, where water sources dictate the movement of people and livestock. In this arid terrain, vital water points such as Donnelly Spring, McCarty Spring, and the clustered Cane Springs provide the only reliable relief across the sagebrush-covered stretches of Donnelly Flat.

A network of drainage systems, including Razor Canyon and the winding Leadville Canyon, reveals the geological character of the region. The map charts a high-elevation profile from Ladden Cone and Sheep Peaks in the north down toward Mount Observation. Human presence is marked primarily by primitive tracks like Barley Rd and the placement of the Pipeline Spring, highlighting the essential infrastructure required for survival and transit in this part of Washoe County.
