2021 Map of Pyramid NE

About this map

Pyramid Lake dominates the western portion of this landscape, its waters meeting the shoreline at Fox Bay and the stretches of Fox Beach. The eastern terrain rises sharply into the Lake Range, where the topography is defined by narrow drainage systems like Sweetwater Canyon and Hells Kitchen Canyon. These steep slopes terminate at features like Howitzer Slide, illustrating the dramatic vertical relief between the lake's edge and the high ridges. This map provides a detailed view of the natural boundary between the high desert waters and the arid peaks of Washoe County. The absence of modern infrastructure highlights the preserved, primitive character of this shoreline, where survey lines and township boundaries like t27n r22e provide the only human-imposed structure over the physical geography.
