2021 Map of Long Dry Canyon

About this map

Topaz Ranch Estates serves as a primary residential area in this corner of Douglas County, Nevada, situated where the valley floor meets the eastern slopes. The West Walker River meanders northward through the landscape, flanked by vital irrigation infrastructure including the Topaz Canal and Highline Ditch, which support the agricultural activity of the lower Antelope Valley. To the east, the terrain transitions into the high country of the Toiyabe National Forest, marked by the steep relief of the Wellington Hills and numerous drainages like Hoye Canyon and Long Dry Canyon. This survey captures the relationship between the river-fed valley lowlands and the protected forest lands, illustrating how local roads such as River Rd and American Way connect the outlying ranch estates to the wilder mountainous interior of the Great Basin.
