2021 Map of Fox Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Fox Range and the Lake Range dominate this northern Nevada landscape, where the elevation changes reveal a complex network of high-desert drainage patterns. The 2021 survey documents several vital water sources that have historically sustained life in this arid region, including Fox Canyon Spring and Summit Springs located in the northern reaches. Central to the map is the corridor of Fox Canyon, which provides a natural passage between the high ridges. Further south, the high-elevation Sheep Pass and its associated Sheep Pass Spring mark significant points of navigation for those traversing the high desert. The placement of these springs, including Buckbrush Spring, against the steep contours of the ranges highlights the importance of localized hydrography in an otherwise thirsty terrain.
