2021 Map of Nixon NW

About this map

Pyramid Lake dominates the southwestern portion of this high-desert landscape, where the water meets the steep eastern slopes of the Lake Range. This 2021 update reveals the dramatic topographic relief between the lake's surface and the ridgelines of the desert mountains. The eastern shore is largely defined by the path of S R 447, which tracks the transition from the high-altitude peaks down toward the water's edge. Off the western shore, the rocky landmass of Anaho Island stands as a prominent landmark within the basin. The map illustrates a primarily uninhabited region of Nevada, defined by its geological formations and the essential transportation corridor that links the remote lake basin to the surrounding territory.
