2018 Map of Long Dry Canyon

About this map

The West Walker River meanders through the northwest corner of this Nevada landscape, where the agricultural infrastructure of the Antelope Valley meets the rising terrain of the Wellington Hills. This high-desert region is defined by a sophisticated water management system designed to support ranching, featuring the Saroni Canal, Topaz Canal, and the Highline Ditch. To the north, the residential layout of Topaz Ranch Estates stands in contrast to the protected wilderness of the Toiyabe National Forest that dominates the central and southern portions of the map. The rugged topography is etched with numerous named features such as Powell Trough, Hoye Canyon, and Risue Canyon, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Great Basin. Historical access across the river is marked by the Hoye Bridge, providing a fixed point of reference in an area otherwise characterized by sweeping public lands and remote desert basins.
