2021 Map of Long Canyon

About this map

The Antelope Range dominates this corner of the Great Basin, where dramatic elevation changes define the landscape along the border of Humboldt and Pershing counties. In this arid environment, water sources like Box Canyon Spring Number Two represent critical landmarks for both early travelers and contemporary land management. The terrain is deeply incised by Long Canyon and Box Canyon, which drain northeast toward the relatively flat expanse of Desert Valley. A single primary route, Ely Rd, provides access through the eastern foothills of the range, following the natural contour between the steep mountain slopes and the valley floor. The map highlights the systematic division of the land through township and range boundaries, illustrating how this remote section of Nevada was partitioned for grazing and resource oversight.
