1990 Map of Fox Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

The Pyramid Lake Indian Reservation covers the southern half of this landscape, where the arid basin meets the steep elevation of the northern Nevada mountains. The terrain is defined by the high ridges of the Fox Range and the Lake Range, landforms that shaped the movement of people and livestock through these high-desert corridors. Water is the primary driver of development here, evidenced by the strategic locations of Fox Canyon Spring, Summit Springs, and Buckbrush Spring. These vital points, along with a solitary Trail winding through the northern canyons, mark the historic routes used for range management and travel across the Mullens Canyon and Fox Canyon drainages. The map reveals a remote environment where survival depended entirely on these scattered, named water sources.
