2014 Map of Juniper Canyon

About this map

The Seven Troughs Range dominates this portion of Pershing County, where high-desert drainages and isolated water sources define the character of the terrain. Essential water points such as Alson Spring, Nera Spring, and Burnt Canyon Spring are critical landmarks in an otherwise arid environment. The map details a complex system of canyons including Mule Canyon, Stonehouse Canyon, and Juniper Canyon, which cut through the uplifted landscape. In the southeastern portion, American Flats provides a rare area of level ground before transitioning into the American Flat Canyon. This modern survey by the U.S. Geological Survey reflects a landscape primarily shaped by its hydrology, with seasonal flows like Willow Cr and Cow Cr carving the desert floor between the ridges.
