About this map

Sawmill Peak anchors this high-desert terrain of eastern Nevada, where the drainage patterns of the Egan Range dictate the location of ranching infrastructure and seasonal water sources. The presence of the Water Canyon Holding Corral reflects the ongoing cattle-working heritage of the region, situated along the base of the mountains where Martins Creek flows out from Water Canyon.

A series of springs, including Mahogany Hotel Spring, Cottonwood Spring, and Millard Spring, are critical landmarks across the arid slopes of Red Butte and the surrounding draws. The map illustrates a landscape defined by deep topographical features such as Christmas Tree Canyon and Twin Canyon, which feed into the broader Sawmill Canyon. These named canyons and the expansive Lone Pine Swale provide a record of how land users have navigated and utilized this remote White Pine County territory.
