About this map

Mt Callaghan dominates this Lander County landscape, serving as the central topographical anchor for a complex network of seasonal drainages and high-desert canyons. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, with watercourses like Boone Cr and Skull Cr carving deep into the mountainside. The presence of Cottonwood Spring in the southern reaches highlights the vital water sources necessary for life in this arid environment.

Evidence of ranching and land management appears in the south along Grass Valley Rd near Ox Corral Cr. The map's drainage patterns, including Callaghan Canyon and Charlie Canyon, illustrate the natural pathways that have shaped movement through the Shoshone Range for generations. This 2021 update from the U.S. Geological Survey provides a clear view of the area's hydrography, from the N Fork Italian Cr to the headwaters of Silver Cr.
