2021 Map of Nye Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Toiyabe National Forest encompasses the high desert terrain of this Lyon County region, where the Pine Grove Hills meet the deep incisions of Nye Canyon and Sand Canyon. This landscape is defined by its complex network of springs and drainage systems, vital for supporting life in the arid Great Basin. Named water sources like Garden Canyon Spring, Dead Ox Spring, and Rye Grass Spring are scattered across the slopes of the Desert Creek Mountains and Bald Mtn. Local infrastructure is concentrated in the southwest corner near Sweetwater Flat, where the Sweetwater (US Marine Corps) Airport serves as a modern waypoint at the base of Sweetwater Summit. The map details numerous backcountry routes, including the Wiley Loop Trl and the Cowboy Mine 2 Trl, reflecting a history of small-scale mineral exploration and ranching access through the rugged canyons.
