2018 Map of Ryan Canyon

About this map

Gillis Range dominates the topography of this Mineral County survey, forming a complex network of high ridges and narrow drainages. The landscape is defined by the namesake Ryan Canyon in the south and the high-elevation crossing at Ryan Pass to the east. These features represent a segment of the Great Basin's character, where extreme elevation changes dictate the flow of seasonal water and the path of primitive transportation routes. To the north, the terrain transitions into the relatively level expanse of Buckley Flat, providing a sharp contrast to the surrounding peaks. Access to this remote area is primarily facilitated by the Wildhorse Cyn Rd, which cuts through the northern sections of Township 10 North. The map provides a precise layout of the Public Land Survey System grid across portions of Townships 9 and 10 North, useful for documenting land claims in this arid region.
