2021 Map of Reese River Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Wassuk Range peaks dominate the western landscape of this Mineral County quadrangle, descending sharply into the high desert drainage systems of the eastern basin. The arid environment is punctuated by vital water sources like Sulphur Spring and Twilight Spring, which likely served as critical landmarks for travelers and livestock in this portion of the Great Basin. To the east, the terrain opens into the Walker River Valley, where the Walker River flows toward its terminus at the northern edge of Walker Lake. The mapping of deep cuts such as Reese River Canyon, Penrod Canyon, and Deadman Canyon illustrates the complex erosion patterns that define the eastern slopes of the range, providing a clear picture of the geographic barriers and natural corridors present in the early 21st century.
