2021 Map of McConnel Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

The high desert terrain of the Division Range and Calico Hills dominates this portion of the Nevada interior, where water sources dictate the geography of human activity. Critical springs such as Whiskey Spring, Mcconnel Spring, and Flower Spring dot the landscape, providing essential points of reference in an arid environment. The map captures the complex system of drainages, including Willow Cr and Little Smoky Cr, which flow through deep incisions like Mcconnel Canyon and Smoky Canyon. The presence of the Willow Cr Reservoir indicates managed water resources in this rugged stretch of the Great Basin. This detailed survey also marks the boundary between Washoe Co and Humboldt Co, showing how political lines traverse the high elevations of the Sheep Peaks and Sheep Buttes. It is a landscape defined by its hydrology, where every named spring and canyon represents a vital landmark for those navigating the high plateau.
