About this map

Santa Rosa Range and the Bloody Run Hills dominate this high-desert landscape in northern Nevada, where the drainage patterns of Mud Spring Canyon and Long Canyon reveal a complex system of seasonal water flow. The area is defined by its dramatic relief and critical water sources like Mud Spring and Sandbank Spring, which have long been vital markers for navigation and livestock in this arid environment.

Surface infrastructure is minimal, centered around Sand Pass Rd and the level expanse of Daveytown Flat to the west. The map documents the intricate network of trail canyons, including North Bucks Trail Canyon and Bucks Trail Canyon, which cut through the steep topography. Small seasonal drainages such as Tony Cr and Porcupine Cr are also noted, providing a detailed look at the hydrology of the western foothills of the range.
