2018 Map of Eddies Garden

About this map

Buffalo Meadows sits at the southern edge of this high-desert landscape in Washoe County, where seasonal drainages and critical water sources define the terrain. The map reveals a complex network of canyons and named springs that supported regional ranching and transit through the Great Basin. Large geographic features like Eddies Garden and Buffalo Canyon dominate the central topography, while water sources such as Stone Corral Spring and Wildcat Spring indicate the essential locations for early settlers and livestock. The naming conventions throughout the quadrangle, including Pauls Camp Canyon and Wrangler Canyon, point to a history of local habitation and camp sites deeply tied to the rugged physical environment of the Nevada interior.
