2014 Map of Sawmill Canyon

About this map

Sawmill Peak dominates the southern reaches of the Egan Range, overlooking a complex system of drainage and seasonal water sources in this part of White Pine County. The landscape is defined by its namesake timber and milling history, evidenced by the cluster of labels including Sawmill Canyon, Sawmill Spring, Second Sawmill Spring, and Fourth Sawmill Spring. These features suggest a legacy of early industry or settlement supported by high-elevation hydrology. To the north, the terrain transitions into deep-cut topographic features such as Water Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon, while isolated landmarks like Red Butte and the curiously named Mahogany Hotel Spring provide specific points of interest for researchers tracking historical land use. The presence of numerous named springs, from Millard Spring to Lone Pine Spring, highlights the critical importance of water access in this high-desert environment.
