2021 Map of Mount Taylor

About this map

Mt Taylor and the Cherry Creek Range dominate this high-desert landscape in northeastern Nevada. The terrain is defined by a series of steep drainages, including Taylor Canyon, East Taylor Canyon, and Mountain Lion Canyon, which fall away from central heights like High Peak. Water sources are vital markers in this arid environment, represented by a numbered sequence of springs such as Taylor Spring Number One and Taylor Spring Number Five. To the west, the topography levels out into the expanse of Butte Valley. The inclusion of Maine Camp Spring suggests a history of seasonal or resource-based encampments, while features like Corral Canyon point to the area's utility for livestock management in the Great Basin.
