2021 Map of Heath Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Humboldt National Forest encompasses much of this high-elevation landscape in Nye County, dominated by the prominent peaks of the Grant Range. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, characterized by deep incisions like Heath Canyon and Grant Canyon that drain the high country toward the basins below. Water sources are critical but sparse markers in this arid environment, represented by scattered points such as Heath Springs, Upper Blind Spring, and Mud Spring. Navigation through this vertical landscape is anchored by Blue Eagle Pass, a natural corridor between the ridges. The southern portion of the sheet shows broad drainage features like Big Spring Wash, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Great Basin where seasonal water flow shapes the alluvial fans and canyon floors.
