2018 Map of Lost Creek Pass

About this map

Lost Creek Pass serves as a central landmark in this high-elevation region of Washoe County, where the landscape is defined by drainage systems and essential water sources. The map traces the path of Lost Creek Rd as it maneuvers through the complex terrain toward Devils Gate. Water management and natural springs are vital to this arid environment, evidenced by labels for the Lost Creek Troughs, Summit Spring, and several perennial or intermittent drainages. Significant seasonal water flows are identified by Lost Cr in the north and No Savvy Cr in the south. The area's topography is further detailed through named features like Summit Spring Canyon and Sheep Spring Canyon, which dictate the movement of both water and traveler through this part of the Nevada backcountry.
