2021 Map of Gillis Canyon

About this map

Walker Lake dominates the southwestern corner of this survey, where the terminal waters meet the desert edge at Pelican Point. This arid landscape in Mineral County is defined by the sharp transition from the riparian corridor of the Walker River to the steep, rising elevations of the Gillis Range. The map details a complex network of public land divisions, including t12n r29e and t11n r30e, illustrating how the territory is segmented for resource management. Beyond the shoreline, the terrain is carved by deep drainage systems like Gillis Canyon and Wildhorse Canyon. Modern infrastructure is sparse, represented primarily by isolated tracks such as Ghost Dance Ln and Wildhorse Cyn Rd, reflecting the remote and undeveloped character of this Great Basin environment.
