2018 Map of Nixon NW

About this map

Pyramid Lake dominates the southwestern portion of this high-desert landscape in Washoe County, where the water meets the steep rising slopes of the Lake Range. This 2018 survey documents the sharp transition between the alkaline waters and the complex topography of the mountain chain to the east. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of drainages and ridges, with elevations climbing rapidly from the shoreline. These natural features are organized within the Public Land Survey System, spanning townships such as t25n r22e and t24n r23e. The map illustrates a largely undeveloped region where the primary human footprint is found in the modern road network and the geometric precision of township boundaries superimposed over the desert wilderness.
