2015 Map of Little Coleman Canyon

About this map

Mosquito Mountain dominates this high-desert terrain where the borders of Oregon and Nevada meet. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems and water sources, including the catchment at Coleman Reservoir and the more southern Little Valley Reservoir. This 2015 survey illustrates a sparsely populated region of Washoe Co where local ranching and transit rely on a network of named tracks such as Barrel Springs Rd and Colman Ranch Rd. The geography transitions from the broad Mosquito Valley to the steep depressions of Little Coleman Canyon. Significant for its isolation, the area features essential water points like Glenco Spring, which historically supported movement through the canyon systems and along the seasonal Coleman Cr.
