2021 Map of Mule Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

The Shoshone Range dominates this portion of Lander County, Nevada, where the steep relief is defined by numerous drainage systems such as Water Canyon, Mule Canyon, and Deer Canyon. This landscape is characterized by its high-desert topography, with the peaks giving way to the Whirlwind Valley and the flat, volcanic terrain of the Malpais. The naming of Horse Heaven in the southeastern corner suggests the area's history as rangeland or a natural sanctuary for wild horses, while the inclusion of Beacon Light Rd indicates the vital modern infrastructure required for navigation and access across this remote Great Basin interior. This map provides a look at the Public Land Survey System divisions, including Township 31 North, Range 47 East, which organize the vast and sparsely populated high-elevation terrain.
