2014 Map of Pyramid NE

About this map

Pyramid Lake dominates the central landscape of this western Nevada survey, where the water meets the eastern foothills of the Lake Range. Along the northeastern shoreline, Fox Beach provides a distinct break in the shoreline topography before the terrain ascends into the steep ravines of the mountains. The map illustrates a stark, arid geography defined by deep drainages like Sweetwater Canyon and the evocatively named Hells Kitchen Canyon. On the far southern edge of the range, the Howitzer Slide marks a significant geological feature. This 2014 edition captures the hydrologic and topographic state of the basin in the early 21st century, showing the relationship between the lake level and the surrounding public land survey system divisions.
