2021 Map of Fisher Canyon

About this map

The Old Emigrant Rd carves through this remote Pershing County landscape, tracing a historic path between the steep slopes of the Humboldt Range and the expanse of the Buena Vista Valley. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, where seasonal drainages like Fisher Canyon and Cow Canyon cut through the high ridges. This 2021 survey illustrates a classic Great Basin environment where water remains the most critical landmark. A point of specific interest for historians is Buffalo Springs, located on the valley floor, which traditionally served as a vital water source in an otherwise arid region. The map provides a precise look at the township and range system, marking the intersections of T27N and T28N, while documenting how early transportation routes were dictated by the natural breaks in the mountain range.
