2021 Map of Leadville

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

The high-desert terrain of northern Washoe County is defined by the Granite Range and the Hog Ranch Mountains in this topographic survey. The landscape is characterized by its vital water sources, with names like Leadville Springs, Warm Spring, and Chicken Spring indicating the critical importance of water for survival and transit in this arid region. Man-made improvements for livestock or early travelers are evident at the Leadville Troughs and Heward Troughs, located in the shadow of Leadville Mtn. Drainage systems such as N Fork Negro Cr and Middle Fork Negro Cr carve through the canyons, while prominent landmarks like Buckhorn Peak and the deep incision of Willow Creek Canyon provide orientation across the high elevations. This area serves as a primary example of Great Basin geography where seasonal flow and permanent springs dictated the footprint of early habitation and high-country ranching.
