2021 Map of McCoy NW

About this map

Fish Creek Mountains rise sharply in the southwestern portion of this Lander County landscape, creating a dramatic topographical transition from the flat expanse of Buffalo Valley. The northeastern corner is defined by the Copper Basin, a region historically associated with the mineral extraction that drove much of Nevada's early development. Seasonal watercourses like Rock Cr and Willow Cr drain the higher elevations, tracing the natural contours of the Great Basin terrain. The map reflects the enduring cadastral framework of the Public Land Survey System, showing the township boundaries of T30N R42E, T30N R43E, T29N R42E, and T29N R43E, which have organized this high-desert territory since the frontier era.
