2021 Map of Olinghouse

About this map

Olinghouse sits within the high desert terrain of the Pah Rah Range, a region defined by complex canyon systems and seasonal water sources. The landscape is marked by deep geographic cuts such as Olinghouse Canyon, Tiger Canyon, and the curiously named Fort Defiance Canyon. Water is the primary driver of human footprint here, indicated by the presence of Jackass Spring, Sheehan Spring, and Quaking Aspen Spring. This high-altitude Nevada environment centers on the drainage of Millers Cr and includes prominent landmarks like Pond Peak and Summit Cave. Historically a mining area, the road network, including Wilcox Ranch Rd and Olinghouse Rd, traces the paths connecting these remote springs and canyon floors.
