2018 Map of Panther Canyon

About this map

The Sonoma Range and the Tobin Range converge in this high-desert landscape of Pershing County, where steep drainage systems define the rugged topography. The interior is marked by several prominent geological breaks, including Sheep Ranch Canyon and Panther Canyon, which channel water toward the lower elevations. Early transportation routes through this arid terrain are represented by unpaved tracks such as Panther Canyon Rd and Ragan Creek Rd, navigating the passes between the peaks. Water sources, vital for survival and livestock in this environment, are specifically pinpointed at Petain Spring and Mud Spring. In the north, the terrain softens into the Pumpernickel Valley, while seasonal flows like Pollard Cr and China Cr illustrate the intermittent hydrography of the Great Basin.
