Pyramid Lake defines the western edge of this Nevada landscape, where the high desert meets the water's edge along the foothills of the Lake Range. This 2014 survey captures the dramatic elevation changes between the basin floor and the surrounding peaks, centered on the drainage of Sevenmile Canyon. The terrain is marked by significant topographical features such as Big Basin and the prominent Allen Hill to the east. Human presence is limited to the corridor of Route 447, which skirts the eastern edge of the mountains near Dove Cr. This map is particularly useful for understanding the hydrologic connections in this arid environment, showing the location of Sevenmile Spring tucked within the interior canyons. The document clearly delineates the township and range boundaries that organize this part of Washoe County.
