2018 Map of Mahogany Mountain

About this map

Mahogany Mtn and the Little High Rock Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in northern Washoe County. The map details a complex network of ephemeral drainage and essential water sources, centered on Big Mahogany Reservoir. Deep geographic features like High Rock Canyon and Little High Rock Canyon cut through the volcanic terrain, while the eastern edge is defined by the Division Range. The distribution of named water sources such as Denio Camp Springs, Al Owens Spring, and Pappys Corral Spring indicates the area's historical reliance on reliable springs for livestock and transit through this arid basin-and-range environment. The presence of Sage Hen Spring and Cherry Spring further highlights the scattered points of biological and human activity within the larger expanse of northwestern Nevada.
