2011 Map of Rye Patch Canyon
USGS Topo · Published 2011About this map
Rye Patch Sheep Camp stands as a focal point of human activity in this arid landscape of Washoe County, indicating the region's enduring ties to livestock ranching and seasonal grazing. The topography is defined by a series of significant drainages and seasonal water sources, including the expansive Duck Flat Wash and the isolated Steer Lake. High-desert canyons such as Rye Patch Canyon, Cedar Canyon, and Smokey Canyon carve through the terrain, while Willow Springs provides a vital point of interest for those tracing historical water availability in the Great Basin. Transportation through this remote area is facilitated by rugged corridors like Buckhorn Rd and Road 28006, which navigate the complex network of canyons and washes that dominate the eastern Nevada borderlands.
