2011 Map of Russell Peak

About this map

Russell Peak dominates this high-desert terrain in Washoe County, providing a significant landmark for the surrounding drainage patterns. The landscape is defined by its arid hydrology, with the meandering course of Mud Lake Slough tracking through the lower elevations while Creel Spring offers a rare water source in the higher desert reaches. The presence of Valley Rd and various unimproved paths suggests a region primarily used for ranching or range management during this early 21st-century period. A north-south corridor through Coyote Canyon indicates the natural movement of travel through the topography, connecting the disparate water features and summits across this remote section of Nevada.
