2021 Map of Mahogany Mountain

About this map

Mahogany Mountain and the surrounding high desert of Washoe County are defined by a complex network of seasonal water sources and deep volcanic drainages. This landscape, as documented in 2021, centers on the massive volcanic tablelands of the Little High Rock Mountains and the prominent Division Range to the southeast. Water is the primary driver of naming and activity here, with scattered vital points like Big Mahogany Reservoir and several named springs including Al Owens Spring, Cherry Spring, and the curiously named Pappys Corral Spring. The map traces the winding paths of High Rock Canyon and Yellow Rock Canyon, where intermittent flows like Yellow Rock Canon Creek and Little High Rock Creek have carved significant relief into the plateau. These features represent essential landmarks for navigation and land use in this arid portion of Nevada.
