2014 Map of Harris Canyon

About this map

The high-desert terrain of Harris Canyon and the surrounding drainage basins define this northeastern Nevada landscape. A sparse network of unpaved corridors, such as Butler Ranch Rd and CR-755, facilitates access across the arid plateaus and seasonal watercourses. The presence of Shores and vital water sources like Mud Springs, Chalk Spring, and Cold Springs Cr highlights the reliance on rare springs and creeks in an environment dominated by features like Rocky Peak and Eagle Flat. The map documents a landscape where ranching infrastructure and natural drainages like Bull Camp Cr and Willow Cr remain the primary points of reference. This topographical study captures the intersection of public land management and the cattle-ranching heritage of the Great Basin.
