2014 Map of Parker Canyon

About this map

The Smoke Creek Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape along the border of Nevada and California. This 2014 survey captures the remote intersection of Lassen and Washoe counties, where the terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes and dry drainage systems. Seasonal water sources are rare in this arid environment, making Pipe Spring a significant landmark for those navigating the western slopes of the range. The map illustrates the complex geomorphology of the region, from the winding course of Skedaddle Cr to the deep incisions of Thomas Canyon and Parker Canyon. This area remains largely undeveloped, preserving a wilderness character where public land boundaries and survey townships such as t29n r18e provide the primary framework for navigation.
