2021 Map of Paymaster Canyon

About this map

Paymaster Canyon defines the central topography of this Esmeralda County landscape, running between the high ground of the Weepah Hills and the General Thomas Hills. This modern survey illustrates a high-desert environment where the narrow Paymaster Canyon Rd serves as the primary corridor through the terrain, connecting the higher elevations of Paymaster Summit to the southern Paymaster Ridge. To the southeast, the terrain opens into the Montezuma Valley and the arid expanse of Alkali Lake Ralston Desert. The map provides a detailed look at the Public Land Survey System grid across multiple townships, showing the precise sectional divisions that govern this section of Nevada's basin and range province.
