1988 Map of Nye Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Pine Grove Hills dominate this high-desert landscape in the late 1980s, revealing a terrain defined by steep canyons and isolated water sources within the Toiyabe National Forest. The map captures a high-elevation environment where seasonal drainage and perennial springs, such as Dead Ox Spring and Gulch Spring, dictate the movement of livestock and wildlife. Evidence of the region's mineral history is marked by several Prospects, though the area remains largely undeveloped, characterized by its network of canyons like Nye Canyon and Dalzell Canyon. To the south, the terrain levels out into the Sweetwater Flat, which serves as a natural corridor below Sweetwater Summit and Bald Mountain. An aqueduct following the contours near Sweetwater Creek highlights the critical importance of water management in this arid portion of Lyon County.
