2021 Map of San Emidio Desert South

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

The San Emidio Desert and the eastern flanks of the Fox Range dominate this corner of Washoe County. This landscape is defined by its extreme relief and scarce water sources, as the terrain drops from high points like Wildcat Peak and Kits Peak down into the expansive White Sage Flat. The mapping reveals a network of drainage features including San Emidio Canyon, Stag Canyon, and Threemile Canyon that cut through the north-south trending ridges of the Lake Range. The presence of Stag Spring, San Emidio Spring, and the geothermal Boiling Spring at the southern edge of the desert basin highlights the vital, if rare, water points essential for life and travel in this arid environment. The map provides a detailed view of the public land survey system lines, marking the intersection of T29N and T28N across the desert floor and mountain slopes.
