About this map

Eddies Garden and the surrounding high desert of Washoe County are defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and vital water sources in this 2011 survey. The landscape is carved by numerous canyons, including Pauls Camp Canyon, Wrangler Canyon, and Stockade Canyon, which reveal the topographic character of this portion of the Great Basin. Water remains the most significant feature for navigation and survival in this arid environment, marked by historic points such as Stone Corral Spring, Wildcat Spring, and Buffalo Spring.

Evidence of human activity is sparse but notable at Stone Corral, where the names reflect early ranching or livestock management. Transportation through the area is limited to rugged tracks like Buffalo Meadows Rd and Road 28006, tracing paths along the North Fork Buffalo Creek and its various tributaries. These labels provide essential context for researchers tracing old grazing routes or early twentieth-century land use in remote Nevada.
