About this map

Nutt Mtn anchors the southern portion of this Sierra County landscape, where the high desert terrain is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems. The northern reaches are carved by the distinct formations of Jug Canyon and the evocatively named Outlaw Canyon, while the western flats are traversed by significant ephemeral waterways such as Sikes Draw and Ricketson Draw.

Surface water is marked by the courses of Arroyo Jaralosa in the north and Arroyo Montoya to the east. The map illustrates a region largely characterized by its natural relief and water-carved features, including Parks Canyon, Duran Canyon, and Tenaga Canyon. This survey captures the rural character of the area, punctuated only by Co RD b011 and the underlying Public Land Survey System grid, which segments the desert into townships and ranges such as t18s r6w and t19s r5w.
