2011 Map of Logan Peak

About this map

Logan Peak and Table Mountain anchor this arid Churchill County landscape, where water sources dictate the sparse human footprint. The geography is defined by a series of dramatic drainages including Logan Canyon, New York Canyon, and Big Ben Canyon. Small pockets of activity appear at isolated outposts like Fencemaker Camp and the Buena Vista Windmill in the northwest. The presence of Logan Spring, Kitten Springs, and Mustang Spring highlights the critical importance of reliable water in this high-desert environment. Much of the local travel follows the unpaved corridor of Kitten Springs Rd, which snakes through the western hills toward Cottonwood Creek. This topography illustrates the challenges of 21st-century land use in the Great Basin, where namesake peaks and named springs remain the primary landmarks for navigation and settlement.
