2021 Map of Juniper Canyon

About this map

The Seven Troughs Range dominates this portion of Pershing County, where the desert landscape is defined by a series of steep drainages and isolated water sources. This 2021 survey illustrates the topographical complexity of the high basin and range country, showing the drainage patterns of Juniper Canyon and Wildcat Canyon as they descend toward the flats. The distribution of water is a critical feature for any student of this arid region, with multiple named sites including Nera Spring, Alson Spring, and Burnt Canyon Spring providing rare relief in the parched terrain. The map also identifies the broader expanse of the American Flats and American Flat Canyon, offering a detailed view of the natural corridors and land divisions in this part of Nevada.
