2018 Map of Mount Augusta

About this map

The Clan Alpine Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Churchill County, rising to the prominent peak of Mt Augusta. This 2018 survey detail provides a look at the complex network of canyons and ridges that define the Great Basin terrain, including Paiute Canyon and the aptly named Railroad Ridge. Water sources, critical for survival and land use in this arid environment, are meticulously documented throughout the range. Researchers will find numerous named springs such as Cherry Spring Number One, Sagehen Spring, Starr Spring, and Cottonwood Springs, which often correlate with early ranching or travel routes. The map also delineates several drainages including Sagehen Cr and Horse Cr, tracing the natural flow of seasonal water through deep cuts like Grover Canyon and Florence Canyon.
