2021 Map of Mount Como

About this map

Pine Nut Mountains topography dominates this section of the Nevada high desert, where the peaks and basins of the Buckskin Range meet the northern edges of Smiths Valley. This 2021 survey illustrates the complex drainage and elevation patterns of the central Great Basin, characterized by steep canyons and seasonal water sources. Natural landmarks such as Mt Como and Eldorado Canyon define the area's rugged profile, while reliable water points like Willow Spring and the Fulstone Number Two Spring appear as vital features in the arid landscape. The map also documents the political geography of the region, specifically where the border between Lyon County and Douglas County bisects the northern reaches of the Churchill Canyon and Sunrise Basin.
