2014 Map of Eddies Garden

About this map

The high desert canyons of Eddies Garden and the surrounding Washoe County backcountry are defined by a critical network of water sources in this 2014 survey. This landscape, carved by the N Fork Buffalo Cr, W Fork Buffalo Cr, and Middle Fork Buffalo Cr, reveals the essential role of isolated springs in the Great Basin. Named points such as Stone Corral Spring, Cottonwood Spring, and Twin Springs suggest the historical reliance of ranchers and travelers on these reliable seeps. The presence of Buffalo Meadows and the namesake Eddies Garden indicate areas of relatively lush vegetation amidst the drainages of Cedar Canyon and Pauls Camp Canyon. Human infrastructure is sparse, limited primarily to unpaved routes like Buffalo Meadows Rd and Road 26006, which traverse the high-elevation terrain near Wrangler Canyon and Stockade Canyon.
